00302: show any known information about a plugin in dialog

« 00301 | Issues | 00303 »

Summary: show any known information about a plugin in dialog

Created: 2010–12–02 09:07

Status: Released

Category: Request

From: frankie

Version: 2.1

Released_In: 2.2

Description:

the plugin information dialog is extremely helpful for debugging. Currently, when you double click a plugin in the list, it shows the message log for that plugin.

this is a request to add information at the top of that dialog to show any known information about that plugin, for example (if these are possible):

• version
• command line arguments
• config file alias
• tcl commands registered
• etc.

UPDATE: Also, we should consider as part of this upgrade updating the plgin dialog so that plugins that fail to load are also shown somehow (for example, plugins that fail to load due to permissions, file missing, wrong ELF class, etc.) Currently, these are not listed in the dialog.

dougplugininfo(plugin_name,version)
  dougplugininfo(plugin_name,alias)
  dougplugininfo(plugin_name,args)
  dougplugininfo(plugin_name,callbacks)
  dougplugininfo(plugin_name,tclcmds)

where "plugin_name" is the name of the plugin specified to load in the config file (ie dsp_speedtest3).
