Plugins as Extensions? #42

Open Eoin-ONeill-Yokai opened 1 year ago

Eoin-ONeill-Yokai commented 1 year ago

Hi,

Sorry if this is out of left field, but is there any guide on how we can make plugins that are available on flathub that extend the functionality of quodlibet as optional installs?

For example, I originally upstreamed a thumb up/down plugin, but I now think it would be wiser to maintain these (and possibly more non-core) extensions in their own repository for easier maintenance. On the flip side, it seems like installing plugins could be / should be made easier for flatpak users as flatpak has an extension system that seems ideal for this.

Has anyone experimented with this yet? Is it technically possible and are there any guides on how this can be done?

Since there is no stable plugin API (for quodlibet) that's not really possible.
