Re: [e4-dev] Working with modeled UI and HEAD

[Eric Moffatt <emoffatt@xxxxxxxxxx>]

I agree, the 'best practice' for addons
should be that the same bundle that contains the code for the addon should
also contain either a fragment or processor that 'installs' the addon into
whatever base model it's applied to (I think it's Lars or Tom that came
up with this one but I like it...;-).

That way somebody that wants the MinMax
addon could simply declare it as a required plugin and immediately see
the effect. Note that the MinMax addon in its current state could also
have the 'Cleanup' addon as a required bundle. It would be better if the
requirement wasn't quite that tight so we could allow folks to use the
MinMax addon and supply their own Cleanup addon but then folks wanting
the MinMax would have to 'know' that they also need something to manage
stacks going empty...

Can we do it this way Paul ?

I did not say that you should install any model listeners
in there but
contribute the Addon-Elements to the model instead of requireing the
user to add those addons to their core model.
