Querying user input
-
Not sure what to name the topic since I have a few questions starting out with plugin development and not really finding the right sections in the documentation for what I want to do. (google-fu is failing me)
The biggest thing I cannot find is how to query the user for input to select a folder via the save as.. dialog. I want to select two folders for exporting models to so I need to specify them somehow. Also need to set some export parameters so need to add a few checkboxes as well. Ideally I want to pop up a small window to set these two folders up and then save them somewhere between sessions so I only have to set it up once. How would I go about generating that popup and set these boxes up?
Is there a way to intercept the CTRL + S save command so I could use that as trigger for an export?
As I am exporting to stl it would make sense to run Solid Inspector before exporting things. Can a plugin trigger another plugin with parameters? i.e. Solid Inspector->selected model
If anyone could link me the relevant parts of the documentation that would be great, I can't seem to search for the correct words :S
