Adding info about the plug-in

#1

Hi everybody,

I am working on my export plug-in (I am doing it in Maya C++ API). Now I want to add some information about the plug-in’s features. And have no idea how to start. I guess this can be done using MEL or am I wrong? Anyway I will be grateful for any advice and help.

I doubt that you can add your own informations to the plug-in features list. It simply lists all commands, dependency nodes and other elements in the plugin.

following Haggi’s words, there’s NO WAY that you can get anything else to the ‘features’ -list than your plug’s commands or dg/dag nodes.
That’s about it.
But you can get your info into ‘Name’, ‘Vendor’ and ‘Version’ - strings.

And if you’re so keen to advertise your work, you can always write out stuff like ‘I’m the king of the coding world!’ when your plug is loaded…

I thought this an unnecessary comment given the tone of the original question.

It was. Sorry about that. I was in a wrong mood :-/

Thanks for bringing this up, David.
