Plugin Loader/es

Description
Additional tool that lets you install and manage many macros with a single action. It is composed of two parts: Plugin Loader and Plugin Manager. This plugin also updates itself!



Requirements and Limitations

 * yaml Parser.
 * For windows and macos the yaml file must be modified and should work too.
 * For each software package there is a description with name, internet-soure, local destination directory and all information we later need too (checksum, dependencies etc. ).

Linux note
Para instalar yaml
 * To install the installer.py you need write access to that directory: /usr/lib/freecad/Mod/plugins/
 * If you are the only user of your pc
 * if you work in a multiuser environment you still have to run the installations under root-access.

Pluginloader is a Dock Window. You find it under menu View -> views -> pluginloader and can activate it. The other parameter you find under menu -> Tools -> Edit parameters. Plugins ==> showdock - this should be set to True

Install

 * create the directory AppHomePath/Mod/plugins
 * download the zipfile of the complete project to your computer.
 * unzip it - you will get a directotry freecad-pluginloader-master
 * move the content of this directory into AppHomePath/Mod/plugins
 * you can modify this file if you want: pluginloaderconfig.yaml
 * You can also use this script, it makes the same: installer
 * Copy and paste into the FreeCAD python comsole window
 * It works on Linux.

Customization

 * You can customize pluginmanger to your own needs (will be translated):
