Note

Copy the example and rename it to your desired name. Plugins define a ui target slot with the 'ui_target' permissions data but don't have to if not directly interacted with. Plugins must have a run method defined; though, you do not need to necessarily do anything within it. The run method implies that the passed in event system or other data is ready for the plugin to use.

Manifest Example (All are required.)

class Manifest:
    path: str        = os.path.dirname(os.path.realpath(__file__))
    name: str        = "Example Plugin"
    author: str      = "John Doe"
    version: str     = "0.0.1"
    support: str     = ""
    permissions: {}  = {
        'ui_target': "plugin_control_list",
        'pass_fm_events': "true"

    }

Permissions

permissions: {}  = {
    'ui_target': "plugin_control_list",
    'ui_target_id': "<some other Gtk Glade ID>"          # Only needed if using "other" in "ui_target". See below for predefined "ui_target" options...
    'pass_fm_events': "true"                             # If empty or not present will be ignored.
    'bind_keys': [f"{name}||send_message:<Control>f"],
                  f"{name}||do_save:<Control>s"]         # Bind keys with method and key pare using list. Must pass "name" like shown with delimiter to its right.

}

Methods

# Must define and return a widget if "ui_target" is defined.
def get_ui_element(self):
    button = Gtk.Button(label=self.name)
    button.connect("button-release-event", self._do_download)
    return button

# Must define in plugin if "pass_fm_events" is set to "true" string.
def set_fm_event_system(self, fm_event_system):
    self._fm_event_system = fm_event_system

# Must define regardless if needed. Can just pass if plugin does stuff in its __init__
def run(self):
    self._module_event_observer()
