Well seeing as the filenames can change depending on the language and multiple files could possibly be generated I believe this is up to you to figure out. I wrote a plugin a while back for generating C code and I write output to original_file.proto.c and original_file.proto.h. FileDescriptor could not possibly give me that information. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Protocol Buffers" group.
