+1. This is something that we implemented in our internal framework for some apps. It's simple to be done (as you said, we just need to agree on a simple and common API) and IMHO very needed :). Another feature related to plugins that KDE implemented and I find it very useful and "elegant" is KPluginFactory: https://projects.kde.org/projects/kde/kdelibs/repository/revisions/master/entry/kdecore/util/kpluginfactory.h Cheers! -- ------------------------------------------------------- Artur Duque de Souza openBossa INdT - Instituto Nokia de Tecnologia ------------------------------------------------------- Blog: http://blog.morpheuz.cc PGP: 0xDBEEAAC3 @ wwwkeys.pgp.net ------------------------------------------------------- _______________________________________________ Development mailing list [email protected] http://lists.qt-project.org/mailman/listinfo/development
