Hi Juergen, I haven't seen anything about xcu files. I just zip up the META-INF files, the python script, and the binary version of my IDL file.
Do you have a pointer handy to the newest format? thanks joachim On 5/25/07, Juergen Schmidt <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote:
Hi Joachim, glad to hear that your add-in works now. Well not everything was possible but you are able to workaround the multiple returns. I would suggest that you take a look on new add-in with a configuration file to define the new add-in function 8with localization if you want). This new approach has several advantages and it would be nice if you can support this. I know it is not so important for you because your add-in works but i think it is worth to support the latest features at least for new implementations. Or did you already have an xcu file for your add-in?
