Whitelisting assemblies to scan for addin roots

I would like to prevent scanning for addins and addin roots of DLLs in
my application directory except for those that I explicitly whitelist.
Right now I have to add <exclude> entries for every *other* DLL in
that directory. I see that AddinFileSystemExtension can be used to
provide a virtualized view of the file-system to the scanner, so it
seems theoretically possible that I could just provide it with a view
that hides all DLLs except for the ones in my whitelist. However, I
can't see a way to use this correctly. I can register this with an
AddinRegistry with RegisterExtension, but AddinEngine.Initialize
creates a new AddinRegistry and then immediately starts scanning with
it, before I have an opportunity to register any extension with it. So
even though I can eventually register the extension, it's too late,
because the registry has already scanned all the DLLs in the
application directory.

1. Aside from this issue, is AddinFileSystemExtension suitable for
this purpose?
2. Is there a way around this problem without a change in Mono.Addins?
3. If not, I could probably change Mono.Addins to achieve what I want,
but how can I maximize the chance that my patch would be accepted back
into the project?

Regards,
    Weeble.

0.6.2

Hi,

it would be great if you could provide a version with a modified
assembly and file version, which reflects 0.6.2. Currently it is still
set to 0.6.0.

Thanks,

GIT commit message is null

I'm running Ubuntu 11.10, with MonoDevelop 2.6 and Git support 2.6.0.

I created a new solution, with a C# console project, and with Git
Support enabled.

From the top menu, I did  Version Control ==> Commit Solution.

I got the "Commit Files" dialog, which listed the changed files.
Below the grid listing the modified files, there was a label "Commit
message:", with nothing following it.

I clicked "Commit", and received an error:

System.ArgumentException: Commit message must not be null or empty!
Parameter name: message
  at MonoDevelop.VersionControl.Git.GitRepository.Commit
(MonoDevelop.VersionControl.ChangeSet changeSet, IProgressMonitor
monitor) [0x00000] in <filename unknown>:0
  at MonoDevelop.VersionControl.CommitCommand+CommitWorker.Run ()
[0x00000] in <filename unknown>:0

I looked in Preferences ==> Version Control ==> Commit Message Style,
and I see text in the Preview.

Any ideas?

Passing collections using mono.addins

Is it possible to create an addin that passes a collection of objects back to
the host to application? I want to create an addin that reads a list of
customers from a database and passes them back to the host as a collection
of customers.

If it is possible you someone give me an idea how to do it?

Many thanks,

John

Duplicate Addin Namespace and ID

Hi,

I am wondering what happens if there are two add-ins with the same
namespace and id. Which one wins? There is currently no log output
stating that there was a namespace and id collision?

Thanks,
F. Gsell

Unique Addin Id (Addin <-> RuntimeAddin)

Hi,

I am a little bit confused about the Addin.Id.

I am looking for a way to get the the same ID for a RuntimeAddin which
is returned for the Addin itself. I need this information to get a
unique identifier for an addin - this is used for an internal license
mechanism.

Is there a way to get the Addin based on a RuntimeAddin?

Thanks,
F.Gsell

Localizable Extension Nodes

I try to create localizable extension nodes. Now I have something like
this:

    public class ExecutableNode : ExtensionNode
    {
        [NodeAttribute(Localizable = true)]
        public string Test { get; set; }
    }

In the corresponding AddIn manifest I have something like this:

  <Localizer type="StringTable">
    <Locale id="de-de">
      <Msg id="Name" str="Localized" />
    </Locale>
  </Localizer>

  <Extension path="/Sample/Executable">
    <Executable Name="Test"/>
  </Extension>

So how can I make the association between my string table message id
and the corresponding extension node attribute? Did I miss something?

Thanks,
F.Gsell

Load Addin in AppDomain

Hi,

is it possible to load an AddIn in a separate AppDomain. As far as I
understand the mechanism, I have to run the AddInManager initiailze in
the separate appdomain and load the AddIns. But how can I run the
AddInManager initialize in a separate AppDomain?

When I try to create the AddInManager in the new AppDomain via
CreateInstanceAndUnwrap I get an exception becauce the AddInManager is
not marked as serializable?

Any help would be great.

Thanks
F.Gsell
