OpenPlugin the plugin for opening plugins?

<< < (2/3) > >>

Bilgus:
You can also browse to the plugin and choose openwith open_plugins and it will do the same but you can't get to viewers from the main menu so its easier to do it manually

Bilgus:
I added an entry 'Add' to the main menu to address your concern it will only add it if there are no other entries though
so delete plugins.dat from .rockbox/rocks/ and re-open open_plugins and you should now have an entry ADD

Bilgus:
OpenPlugin should now allow you to choose supported filetypes and automatically use the default plugin registered for the file type
you can still edit what plugin you want to open the file (in case you don't like the default)
but you will still have to run the OpenPlugin ahem plugin ( found in apps ) if you want to edit it

you can even choose a bitmap to be displayed at startup in the imageviewer :)

Has something changed with this?

I used to be able to start pictureflow from the WPS, by using the context menu, then selecting to 'open plug-in' having previously (somehow, can't remember how it was done) set that plug-in to be the pictureflow plug-in.

Now I find (on the latest dev version) I can't work out how to set the WPS context-menu plug-in.  If I invoke the context menu I see "open plug-in" as a menu entry, but if I select it it just says "can't open set WPS context plug-in".

What's the procedure now to set that WPS context menu plug-in?

Settings>General Settings>Set Wps Context Plugin

This option doesn't seem to be in the "Settings>General Settings" menu any more.

[Edit]  Aha, it's now in a "while playing screen" "What's Playing Screen" sub-menu!
