ft_notsupported

[Lefteous]

I just saw this constant value in the contentplug.h page of the plugin docu. The search in the help lists it only there but it's not explained where and how to use this flag. Any idea?

The comments in the same H file tell:

// for ContentGetValue
...
#define ft_notsupported -5 // function not supported

I suppose, this value is reserved for a situation when TC (by mistake) asks the plugin to retrieve a field having no meaning for the particular file. Or something like that.

Well of course the I read the comment in the header but that doesn't explain anything.

For this case ft_nosuchfield should be used.

ft_notsupported should be returned for example by ContentSetValue if the function doesn't support the change of that specific field for that file.

OK thanks for the info - a better documentation is appreciated. I don't really understand why a new flag is necessary. A few weeks ago you told me to use ft_nocsuchfield and I haven't had problems with this error value.
