Title: show AT&RT functions in the Function Selector menu?
Post by: hiccup on April 29, 2024, 04:53:28 PM
I wonder if it would be possible to have the function selector panel include functions that become available when the Additional Tagging & Reporting Tools plugin is installed?

+1. Steven, plugin developers (e.g. me) could provide some helper function to give MB some info about implemented custom functions, if it's too hard to parse all plugin's functions and their syntax on the MB side.

+1. Plugins feeding that information to MusicBee themselves would probably be best in my opinion.
A new API function to return an array of strings that represent each supported function is how I imagine this would work.
One benefit to that being that a plugin developer can choose which functions to expose to the user and which to keep experimental/hidden (much like how MusicBee does it).

Steven has added support to the latest MB 3.6 patch (https://getmusicbee.com/patches/MusicBee36_Patched.zip) for a plugin helper function which returns all plugin VT functions, including their parameter names as a string array.

AT&RT plugin, 9.0 beta 3 uses this new MB feature:

That's great.
When I have the opportunity I will give both this and the latest TitleCase implementation some solid tire-kicking ;-)
