Thanks Mark. Do you happen to know if there are any handlers which return
these paths or even the information about each widget from its manifest.xml
file? It's easy enough to go through all the files myself and parse the
xml myself but probably safer to use official handlers if they exist.
I had similar questions yesterday:
http://forums.livecode.com/viewtopic.php?f=93&t=25530
I'm currently parsing the xml myself since I've already created the xml
tree by the time I need the info, but I'm using the technique in the
revIDEExtensionsFetchMetadata() function to get the metadata. That way I
avoid the overhead of creating the xml tree again, but I will probably
switch to doing that now that I've gotten the word that it's officially
condoned.
Here's how I get the path to user extensions:
functon LC8UserExtensionsPath
put revEnvironmentUserPluginsPath() into tPath
replace quote with empty in tPath
set the itemdelimiter to "/"
put "Extensions" into item -1 of tPath
return tPath
end LC8UserExtensionsPath
You can also try revIDESpecialFolderPath("extensions") and
revIDESpecialFolderPath("user extensions"), which work but I've been
advised not to use them.
