To share the menu with others, you can deliver the plug-in in the following ways:
You can just drop it in the Application/Plugins directory under the user, factory or workgroup path. If you are providing a help file with the menu, make sure that it is included in the doc subfolder.
You can also package it with any support files (such as a help file) in an *.xsiaddon file for deployment. Along with the library or script file containing the implementation of the custom menu, you might also want to include any of these files:
| File Type |
Description |
|---|---|
| *.dll/so file or *.vbs/js/pls/py |
Any support files (for example, extra libraries) that your custom menu callbacks might need to call while running. |
| *.spdl file and/or *.preset file |
If you call a dialog or any custom property page in your script that must remain in the scene, you need to provide a SPDL file with the definition and a preset file to create the dialog, or a self-installing custom property. For more information on self-installing properties, see Custom Properties. |
| *.html/htm/chm/hlp (or ReadMe.txt file) |
If you provide a help page (or site) that explains the usage of your menu, you must package it with the rest of your menu. |
| *.jpg/gif/bmp/ico |
Any image files that is required for your dialogs or your help pages. |
