Hi Brian, here is a step-by-step:
1 - download the PluginGallery.zip file that is attached to this post.
2 - Unzip this to get the PluginGallery.htm file.
3 - Copy PluginGallery.htm to the C:\Program Files\MoI 1.0\
ui folder on your hard drive. (note - this is the
\ui folder in this case, not the \commands folder which other plug-in commands are usually copied to).
4 - Go to Options / Shortcut keys, and add in a new entry, use this for the command:
code:
script:moi.ui.createDialog( 'moi://ui/PluginGallery.htm', 'resizeable' );
Now when you press the key you assigned the shortcut key to, that plugin gallery page will come up in a dialog box, this will be the thing that Pilou showed a screenshot of above.
It is not particularly exciting right now, it is more of a template that could be filled in if you wanted to include a special plugin view with graphics and lots of descriptive text.
Right now there are 9 big buttons on it, the one in the upper-left will fire off that "ToroidalHelix" command if you push it. The other ones are just placeholders that could be edited if you wanted to fill in other plugins here.
It's not really a very big deal, but if you really really want an illustrated and annotated plugin guide, then this could do that right now...
The text-menu thing that I am planning on adding in for v2 will be a lot more automatic than this and won't require any kind of manual editing to make things show up - this editable one is if you want a fancier screen than that.
