hi.

the LayerShaderLayer parameter LAYER_S_PARAM_SHADER_LINK is "read-only" which is too bad really. nevertheless i can delete a BaseLink by setting the parameter like this:
layer- >SetParameter(LAYER_S_PARAM_SHADER_LINK, NULL);
this is dirty, filthy, bad style, i know, but can it cause problems?^^
the result is, the BaseLink is deleted and in place of the deleted layer there is now an empty folder.
i could live with this rather than totally discard my little plugin, as there seems to be no way to modify textures and shaders in a layer shader.

Maybe copy the contents from one layer, modify it as you wish, then insert it as a new layer and delete the old one? Just a quick guess.

hmm, i want to replace and or delete layers and i guess modifying them will keep being the problem, for the only function i need is setting the link, which is read-only.

that's what I mean. Create a new layer with a new link, delete the old one.

At best it shouldn't crash Cinema but use it at your own risk.
