How to develop plugins for Scratch

Asked by Carc on 2012-05-13

Is there any info about developing plugins for scratch?
Can I develop a plugin which is not part of the scratch code? If so, where to place it so that scratch can load it?

You can follow standard libpeas mode. Try to follow generic examples from libpeas trunk http://git.gnome.org/browse/libpeas/tree/peas-demo/plugins or from scratch trunk http://bazaar.launchpad.net/~elementary-apps/scratch/scratch/files/head:/plugins/

Generally you have to generate a pluginname.so file and put it in lib/scratch/plugins/pluginname with a pluginname.plugin file

I will write some better documentation soon in order to provide better informations about scratch plugins making

Folder lib does not contain a directory called "scratch" on Elementary OS Luna. Can't find the directory to place my extension. Have you written the documentation yet, Mario?

Ok, I've got it. The correct path is /usr/lib/scratch/plugins/pluginname

Can you help with this problem?
