Plugin Management

Aus ExpeccoWiki

During startup, expecco loads all code found in its plugin directory, and invokes the plugin initialization procedure as described in Expecco Plugin API . If you aquired a plugin, its installation procedure will typically install all the required files into that plugin directory, so it is already loaded when expecco is started. Most plugins consist of two parts:

• plugin extension dll
• plugin library

The extension dll usually contains low-level machine code, which is called from blocks in the plugin library. In addition to providing low-level entry points for plugin-specific functionality, many plugins also add additional menu items or even editor pages and tabs to the expecco application itself.

Plugin Settings Dialog

See the plugin settings dialog for further customization and configuration of the installed plugins. Each plugin will provide its own settings-dialog, so please refer to an individual plugin's documentation for details.
