Multi-plugin package

jgoguen · 05-25-2015, 03:15 PM

Is there a way to define a plugin package that includes multiple different plugins? I'd like to add KePub metadata reading and writing to the device plugin to resolve a bug and I'm going I can do it in the existing package so people can upgrade and get it without needing a new plugin package.

No, a single zip file can contain only a single plugin.

Is it OK if the single plugin is of multiple types? Something like this:

Code:

class KEPUBMetadataPlugin(MetadataReaderPlugin, MetadataWriterPlugin):

And use that single plugin to provide both metadata reading and writing? I think I would end up using a similar setup for adding convert-from-kepub to the conversion plugin I already have if that works.

No, I'm afraid not. It is strictly one plugin per zip file.

Dependencies

Maybe the Add PI routine could check for (PI) Dependencies and require that they be installed first. (The PI also needs to check that they are not later removed)
