-There are actually 3 different events.
-
-
-Events
-======
-EDITOR_SCRIPT In editor view, apply a function to the current selection
-
-PREDIFF Preprocess file before diffing : the plugin is not apply to the
- text displayed in the editor. It is applied only to a copy of the left
- and right texts, and this copy are then scanned to create the difference list.
- As now : you may delete one column, change the names of variables...
- you may not add/delete/move lines.
-
-PACK_UNPACK Transform a file in a viewable format (for example, decompress a file...)
- The editor displays the unpacked data.
- Sometimes files may be packed again (zipped files...). An additionnal function is
- of course necessary.
- If the author of the plugin created this function, file may be saved again in
- the compressed format.
- Else the file can only be saved in a text format. To avoid problems, you are proposed to
- change the filename when saving a changed file.

-
-Plugin selection
-================
-EDITOR_SCRIPT
-In main menu, "Edit"->"Scripts"->
-
-
-PACK_UNPACK
-
-For directory view :
-1) Check "Plugins"->"Automatic unpacking" in the menu.
-Note : file are not compared again. You need to press F5 to update the results of the comparison.
-
-For editor view :
-1) Open dialog : select the two files then the plugin.
-2) From the directory view when "Plugins"->"Automatic unpacking" is checked : select one file, double click to
-open it. The plugin used during the directory comparison is used to open the editor.
-3) From the directory view : select one file, then menu "Plugins"->"Edit with unpacker". An additionnal dialog
-offers the choice of the plugin before opening the editor view. This plugin is forgotten when you close the editor view.
-
-How works "Automatic unpacking" ?
-Each plugin defines some file extensions it is intended for (see PluginFileFilters in the section "properties" in readme_developpers.txt).
-This information is used to automatically apply a plugin to a file.
-Note : only the first matching plugin is applied
-Note2 : the plugin must match the extension of either the right or the left file, and is then
-applied to both files.
-
-PREDIFF
-
-For directory view :
-1) Select one/several files
-2) Right-click to open the context menu
-3) "Plugin settings"->"Prediffer settings"->...
-4) select "Auto prediffer" or "No prediffer"
-Note : files are not compared again. You need to press F5 to update the results of the comparison.
-
-For editor view :
-1) From the directory view when "Auto prediffer" is checked for the file : select this file, double click to
-open it. The plugin used during the directory comparison is used to open the editor.
-2) During session, menu "Plugins"->"Prediffer"->... The active prediffer is checked.
-Plugins are shared in two categories :
-- suggested plugins : current files match the PluginFileFilters (see below)
-- other plugins
-Note : the files are compared again after the selection. No need to press F5.
-
-How works "Auto prediffer" ?
-Same rule as for "Automatic unpacking".
