Dynamic plugin loading #204

Closed mgrandi closed 1 year ago

mgrandi commented 1 year ago

Is there anything planned to make it so that a common interface is defined somewhere and that way plugins can compile against that and be loaded dynamically? I have a plugin that I wrote that i keep having to update and recompile the whole app every time a new version is released, since the changes i made require a change in https://github.com/dkgv/pinpoint/blob/a0be2cc3e59bd10cf920dacf7c95dbaafe3f7de9/Pinpoint.Win/Views/MainWindow.xaml.cs#L130C11-L130C11 to load the plugin

Hey @mgrandi! It's not planned but I like the idea. How about we allow you to specify a plugin directory through the UI? Pinpoint could then attempt to locate relevant DLLs in this designated directory.

Whoa, this was on my list of things to respond to and you just finished it already! Thanks! I'll take a look
