--- Comment #1 from Michael Catanzaro <mcatanzaro at gnome.org> ---
So technically it's possible to allow this, but I'm not sure it's a good idea. Thing is, if you fail to create the path before starting the web process, then the path is not going to be mounted. This could be very confusing for application developers. And the application does not know when a new web process is created: we don't expose that at all. Currently there is one web process per non-related view, but in the future I would expect all views displaying the same origin to share a web process. And for Evolution, that would be all views, so the content would effectively never be reloaded.

Exposing functionality that could change in the future based on process model changes is inherently risky.

Is creating the preview-plugins directory in advance really such a bad thing? It's OK for it to be empty.
