I am develope plugin for packed files Unity game engine.
Packed files may contain other compressed files.
(An archive file is essentially matryoshka (russian nesting dolls))
My plugin uses wcx interface.
I want at the moment - to rewrite and improve the plugin.
I have a few questions:
1) How can I use custom columns in wcx plugin?
2) How can I show a modal window (for settings) when viewing the archive with the plugin (shortcut key or button)?
3) I want to switch to wfx interface (because the processing of nested archives is very similar to the virtual file system) but wfx plugins in my view - a system plug-ins rather than virtual filesystem. Do I understand right the purpose of wfx?
The list of questions will be updated as they formulate.

1) Sorry, you can't.
2) You can only show a settings dialog when packing (ConfigurePacker)
3) WFX is mainly meant for remote servers, not for file based data. You can use it for that, but the user will have to tell the plugin somehow which file you want to open.

Maybe this will change in the near future?
Thanks for answer.

Is there any chance you could share your plugin, even if it is in unfinished state?miracle wrote: 2017-01-26, 08:35 UTC I am develope plugin for packed files Unity game engine.
