Plugin support for AMC

[meriadeg]

Hi,

Really great soft but still missing some things to be perfect.
Why don't you add plugin functionnality so that every one could do his own AMC?
It's really simple in Delphi.
See http://www.maxcomponents.net/components ... UGINLOADER for example...

My wish: add a directory autoscan so that you can add you DivX collection easily

I'm a Delphi professional programmer, I can help you adding plugin functionality if you wish...

Except for what you said, mass adding files, I do not really see for what plugins would be useful.
And it is easier to directly add this mass-add support to the program rather than make a plugin system.
I plan to add this mass-add feature in the future, but I do not know yet when I will add that. For version 3.6 probably.

Another great motivation for plugins would be store management.
AMC could be shipped with its native storage format (xml or other, it's you choice) and could be available other modules, like mysql storage, csv file, and lot of....
Already discussed this ?

The way the program is designed, a real database would not work very well. And I do not want to make the program become a too bloated thing. I make this mainly because I use it, so I add what I would need/use (and I already do not have time to add all what I want)

I think it`s a great ideea . I say that you coud do this because are many peoples who really need this (including me )

Using plugin could permit other people (like me) to add functionnalities you don't have time to add.
You just would have to give acces to basics functions so that plugin could interact with your program. I think it would be a good extension.
