Thanks for confirming my suspicion :)

Hi!

I have a feeling it is not possible, but I would like to add tool tips to commands added via GetSubContainer.
Is there a way to do that?

Thanks!

Ok, thanks!

Hi!

Opening a GeDialog with -2 as xpos/ypos opens it in the center of the primary screen.
Is it possible to open the dialog on whichever screen the Cinema 4D window ist currently?

Thanks!

Ok, thanks Riccardo!
I'll register them at the start then.

Hi!

Depending on some outside factors I want to register one (or more) additional commandData plugin(s).
When I run RegisterCommandPlugin() on a button press however, I get this error:
EnvironmentError: cannot find pyp file - plugin registration failed

Is it not possible to add plugins after startup/ during runtime? Or am I doing something else wrong?

Thanks Riccardo, I will look into that.

I am trying to register multiple plugins that are instances of the same class, but do slightly different stuff (in this case construct different menus). I am getting some external data that I would like to put in a dictionary with the plugin ID as keys. I could then get the correct data set for each plugin by comparing the pluginID from e.g. within execute with the pluginIDs in the dictionary. But for that I would need a way to retrieve the pluginID of the class instance whose execute function was called.

Edit: I figured out a way. I can pass the pluginID when initializing the plugin in the register function and save it as a class member in __init__

Hi!

Is it possible to get the pluginID of a CommandData plugin from within the registered plugin class/instance?
I saw that BasePlugin.GetID() exists, but sadly it doesn't seem to work in a CommandData Plugin.
I am looking for something like self.GetPluginID() to retrieve the ID from within the running plugin.

Thanks!

Hi Riccardo!

Could you explain how the reverse-domain assembled IDs are used? I could not find any ressources for that.
In a different post you mentioned that the traditional plugin IDs will eventually be replaced by reverse-domain assembled ID.
Is there even a point in registering plugin IDs anymore, or should one use the new style?
And how would one go about doing that?

Thanks!
