EntityViewer Plugin
Posted: Mon Sep 09, 2024 9:08 pm
Hi Chris,
I'm trying to build an Entity Viewer Plugin but I can't detect when a file is opened in order to update my plugin internal entity listbox and refresh the Pad. Here's what I got so far...
Any ideas?
BTW: should we have a "XIDE" forum for posting stuffs like this one?
thanks!
