Hi @SieDa ,
note that PlantUmlViewer aims to be a simple GUI integration to preview diagrams. It shall not be some kind of code or command generator. What exactly is your use case behind this request? What is the reason not just to use the CLI directy for advanced usage like this? I don't see how this could improve the PlantUmlViewer plugin.

Hi Philipp, well done so far.
There are three major reasons in case you only have N++ to edit the code, then
Does that make sense to you? Best regards SieDa
Hi @SieDa ,
I don't see which parameters / arguments you want so set in a specific way and read out here. PlantUML is called straight forward without any specific arguments. The only thing difference to a standard call is using pipes and splitting the diagram pages into several generation steps. This means there are potentially multiple commands to be executed. Maybe nppexec is what you are looking for here? Using the plugin you can call PlantUML directly to generate and open the SVG.

-Button it would be nice to influence the processing similar to some PlantUML Command Line features.Run Simple Instructions directly without entering this code.
That can be achieved in the command line by calling:
So open a Pull Down Area that shows further buttons in the Preview Pane:

Run more complex instructions without needing to go to the command line. Add addition Buttons, that use the PlantUML command line to provide

Stepwise you can support -nometadata, -charset, ... all that make sense for a single source file.
With different preview styles you can do this for -teps, -teps:text, -thtml, -tlatex, -tlatex:nopreamble, -tpdf, -tpng, -tscxml, -tsvg, -ttxt, -tutxt, -tvdx, -txmi, ...
Solution On Processing - different to Refresh - the PlantUML Processing ist used to deliver a result into the output area.

might be an option to provide a button to show the source code of some of those (svg, txt, latex, ...) in notepad, if that makes sense.
