Open plugin is a recent addition to rockbox
at the lowest level it allows storing and hashed lookup of plugins and parameters

its been integrated with the core to enable opening plugins on startup, hotkeys, shortcuts

There is also a companion plugin in the viewers folder to allow you to run plugins using openwith
and a shortcut to the plugin in the apps folder that uses it to start the viewer in editor mode

in edit mode you can export shortcuts back to the file system and use them from the file browser as if you were in the plugin folder

Another use is doing things like making a shortcut that starts the text viewer and loads a specified file using the parameter field

Is there a “how to” on this somewhere? Thanks

Bilgus:
Not really I need to make manual entries for these
Not really a whole lot to this one

OpenPlugin is basically a database of plugins and their parameters to run them, they get stored to the db and you get a key to retrieve them later

It also has a mode that uses rockbox's language id as a key to allow storing plugins for actions such as your
wps hotkey, startup plugin

It also has an accompanying plugin 'Apps>open_plugins' that serves as an editor for these entries

so you can view / edit/ export them
