NewAssetKind

Remarks

⚠ F3: this was a literal tuple array in EditorWorlds. A plugin that introduced an asset type could not put it in Create ▸ at all — the menu was a list in the application of every kind the application knew about, which is the same shape of problem as an editor that hard-references its own features.

Here rather than in Vixen.Editor.App because a contribution has to be declarable by something that does not reference the application — which is every plugin, and every feature assembly once P3 moves the built-ins to the front door.

Fields and properties (8)

• public string Id

  The command id. Prefix a plugin's with the plugin's own id.

• public StringId Title

  What the menu line says, as a declaration a translator sees (#1284). The editor switches language live, so the record carries the id rather than the text: a string here was frozen at whatever language was in use when the kind registered.

• public string Extension

  What the new file is called after the dot, including it.

• public string DefaultName

  What it is called before the dot, before a number is appended.

• public string Contents

  What to write into it. Empty is a zero-byte file, which is what a kind whose editor opens an empty one as a sensible new document wants; anything else is a starter document, which a kind read by an importer needs — an empty file that the importer deserialises and validates arrives with a warning beside it rather than as a new asset.

• public bool Opens

  Whether to open it after creating it, which needs an editor claiming the extension.

• public int Order

  Where among the lines, low first. Ties keep registration order.

• public Func<string>? Build

  Produces the contents per file, or to use Contents.

Methods (2)

• public NewAssetKind(string Id, StringId Title, string Extension, string DefaultName, string Contents = "", bool Opens = true, int Order = 0)

  One line in Create ▸: what it is called, what it writes, and whether it opens.

• public string NewContents()

  What to write into a new one.
