What about a plugin application?

**Raccoon29** · 11th March 2008, 18:19

I all (it's been a long time!),
my question is as simple as wide:
how would you logically build an application if it has to be extensible by plugins, such as in order to get new functionalities by adding the plugin in a specific application folder.
For example, I'm asking for something like Photoshop or Firefox plugins.

Any sort of suggestion is appreciated.

Greetings,
Niki

Have you seen Qt's documentation on writing plugins? If not, I suggest you start there. There's a nice example of a simple pluggable image editor.

Yes, I gave it a look, but what I found was a chapter that talked about plugin widgets, as designer components...
could I ask you where is this example? I missed it...
