I like Rinaldi's SmartSave for automatic regular saves, and my own Funkey to attach scripts to the function keys.At the upcoming Rev Con in SF I'll be discussing plug-ins, aimed at introducing Rev newcomers to using and building Revolution plug-ins.
To better tailor what's covered it would be helpful to get some input from
you folks:
- What's your favorite plug-in, and why?
Rinaldi, Chipp Walters, Rev user contributions and I monitor announcements on this list.
- Where do you look for plug-ins?
Yes, once when I tried to rename one of my plugins to rev... to stop it showing up in the Application Browser. For some unknown reason it stopped working altogether. I didn't spend a lot of time trying to find the problem, but I would like more info on when & how best to use the rev prefix.
- Have you encountered any conflicts betwee plug-ins, and if so what
happened? (image ID conflict, stack or variable name conflict, messages not
being passed, etc.)
Plugins :-)
- Do you prefer the more hip form of "Plugins" or the more grammatically
correct but possibly staid form, "Plug-ins"? (It's a small thing but if I'm
going to make handouts I should at least spell it correctly. <g>)
I like to automate any process that I find tedious &/or annoying. At the moment, the main culprit is the popup menu on the Properties palette, so a plugin that allowed for easy navigation of the palette might be a good idea.
- Fill in the blank: "The plug-in I want to see is one that does _______".
Another one that was suggested on this list a while ago, was a startup plugin where you could add any scripts that you like to run automatically on startup: setting the tool, arranging palettes etc.
Thanks! I've been a bit busy lately, but there should be another article along soon.
