Content plugin developer's guide

Now that the beta was leaked is there any chance of getting a WDX plugin interface description? I have a few ideas I'd like to put into life

Please consider that there are already some content plugins in development or even ready to use (although not released officially). It would be a bad idea to start a developement project for a plugin which already exists?

Ahh, competition is not a bad thing; quite to the contrary, actually
Besides, how do you know my project isn't an original one?

I can really see no harm in releasing WDX SDK now (if its function set is fixed, of course) but I will surely respect Christian's decision.

OK competition is not a bad thing for you so tell us about your idea.

OK, here's my first shot
As I am sure EXIF info plugin has already been made, how about SWF info plugin (size in pixels, frame rate, version)? It would be really useful in my webmaster's work. Actually I have already written a WhereIsIt plugin with the similar functionality.

how about SWF info plugin

Sounds good.

Please wait with the development of WDX plugins until TC 6.5 has been officially released. The plugin interface has changed several times during the beta test, and I cannot guarantee that it will remain unchanged until TC 6.5 is released.

Now that's a good reason for not releasing this documentation. I hope it won't be a long wait.

Hello,

TC 6.5 has been officially released.

And now is the time to release the WDX SDK...

This is an all new plugin spec, but why did you miss the chance to define all string parameters as UTF8 or UTF16?

Only C++ sample sources and no Delphi ones?
They would make it much easier for me as my C++ got quite a bit rusty over the years

Do you want a sample in Delphi ?
