Plugin settings root.

Hi,
I was wondering if it would be good if the plugins could have their own hierarchy point in the preference folder. i.e. Currently looks like the "junction" point for a plugin to put their setting page is in one of the values defined in "SettingsConstants". The plugin author can put a setting page where-ever he wants which would not differentiate between SmartSVN internal page or a plugin setting page. I was thinking something like this. A junction point called "Plugin" - the plugin author can then put their plugin page under this node. The user will know that this is related to a plugin and not smartsvn original options. And then plugin author can put their plugin page under that node. This way the end user knows where to find the plugin's setting page. For the plugin that I wrote, I could not find a good location in the existing nodes. It is related to commit, but there is already a commit node. For now i will stick it under commit or actions, but I don't think it is a good place. -prakash ps: I was not sure if the mail was sent the last time... Sending it again.

Hi Prakash,
Adding a plugin should integrate as good as possible into an application. The user should not see, that it has been "plugged in". Hence I think, it would be less good to add plugin-settings pages by default under a certain "Plugin" category. For your plugin, I think the optimal location for the settings would be a subnode below "Commit" (returning the SettingsConstants.GLOBAL_COMMIT in ISettingsPageFactory.getInsertLocation()), because it offers commit-specific options. But if you like, you can also create a page with the name of your plugin (so the user can find it easier) and append it at the end of the list by returning null. -- Best regards, Thomas Singer ============= syntevo GmbH http://www.syntevo.com http://blog.syntevo.com Prakash Nadar <gpnadar@...> wrote: > Hi, > > I was wondering if it would be good if the plugins could have their own > hierarchy point in the preference folder. > > i.e. > Currently looks like the "junction" point for a plugin to put their setting > page is in one of the values defined in "SettingsConstants".
