Re: [osg-users] [osgPlugins] Reader-Plugin Callbacks for unsupported data-types

I can't see a plausible general purpose callback system for all plugins, the loaders all target such different types for file formats that they really have next to nothing in common. Now if you have a suggestion got for it, put it forward. Please bare in mind that I won't merge changes that have a high complexity overhead for a small gain. For very niche tasks like extended loaders one will really have to justify every line of code and keep it localized to not effect the rest of the OSG code base. In very special cases there may be opportunities to handle elements in some of the plugins. OpenFlight may be one of them, but to support it one would need a specific solution to handle the types of records that OpenFlight has. Is there a person responsible for all plug-ins? There is no single person responsible for all the plug-ins. I am the overall project lead and am responsible for merging the majority of submissions to the OSG code base. In case like OpenFlight plugin I am not the lead developer, and others have write access such as Paul Martz and Brede Johansen.

[osg-users] [osgPlugins] Reader-Plugin Callbacks for unsupported data-types
Hi, When reading models in OpenFlight format, not all data will be read (i.e. surface material code or feature id will not be read). But some application need this data, therefore my idea is, there could be a callback-function, which the reader-plugin is calling when it reads an unsupported data-type (Similar to update-callbacks). So the application could solve the problem. Are there any comments or drawbacks about this idea? @Robert Osfield: Does such a solution have a change to come into the trunc of osg? Thank you!

I don't have any opinions on OpenFlight as it's not my area of expertise - I'm not the plugin author so I'd defer to others about OpenFlight format specifics. The possibility of adding custom handling of reading/writing I'm open to, but I'll defer to others with a bit more experience with coding on the OpenFlight plugin to provide their more learned opinions.
