As I already described inside another answer inside the same board ... there is currently no documentation regarding the new format. Sorry. But a list of hex codes assigned to flag names exists inside the old documentation too. Please have a look into the DevGuide chapter "6.2.4". On the other side ... a dispatch interceptor must not deal with a types/filter configuration at all ... " - So do I need a TypeDetection.xml for a dispatch interceptor or nor? [quote] The idea behind addons is the following one: - implement any uno component you want (that can be e.g. a filter, a dispatch interceptor, a dialog or anything else) - combine it with the right set of configuration files (if your component require a configuration at all) - pack it into a zip file (describing it's entries inside a Manifest file) An addon requires some additional configuration files only (packed into the same zip file). Those configuration entries makes it possible for you to find a place inside our menu/toolbars. But the same zip file (independend from the fact that it contains a filter without the need for an extra menu/toolbar entry or it contains any other uno component, which wish to be placed into our menu/toolbars) can be installed using the "Tools->PackageManager". [/quote] - What config files exactly are we talking about? In the usecase that I described before, that the component logs all files read into Ooo 2.0, to be copied, what config files do you reckon I need? Thanks a bunch for the replies.

The idea behind addons is the following one: - implement any uno component you want (that can be e.g. a filter, a dispatch interceptor, a dialog or anything else) - combine it with the right set of configuration files (if your component require a configuration at all) - pack it into a zip file (describing it's entries inside a Manifest file) An addon requires some additional configuration files only (packed into the same zip file).

So the mechanism behind "Tools->PackageManager" are more then "related to Addons" ! > > I am still quite confused about the TypeDetection.xcu (I use Ooo2.0 so is > that SO7 or SO8??) > I am also unsure about the significance/values of the entries in the > TypeDetection.xcu.

I know by myself: understanding the whole API of OOo isnt realy possible. Even to know how all the different API's and concepts of OOo work together isnt easy. But for these problems this board exists.
