Now I have a solution that works :
preamble:
\usepackage{tikz}
\usepackage{pgfplots}
ERT:
\begin{tikzpicture}
\begin{axis}[]
\addplot[]
External Input to have file{datadir/myfile.csv};
ERT:
\end{axis}
\end{tikzpicture}
with external_templates:
Template file(PgfPlots)
GuiName "file{$$FName}"
HelpText
file input to use for pgfplots
HelpTextEnd
InputFormat tex
FileFilter "*.csv"
AutomaticProduction true
Format PDFLaTeX
Product "file{$$FPath$$Basename.csv};"
UpdateFormat latex
UpdateResult "$$FPath$$Basename.csv"
FormatEnd
TemplateEnd
My question is still:
why: InputFormat tex
why: UpdateFormat latex
Does anyone can help me please?
