Hi, currently it is not supported to handle multiple types in one type plugin. Basically the current supportedType() function of the TypeInterface returns the datatype which could be combined by an | . Only the addEmpty function would require a modification. So it would be possible to extend the interface. But I'm not sure if that's a good idea as the plugin structure is not that clean anymore when multiple types are handled by one type plugin.

Hi!

I'm using a custom object type in my OpenFlipper plugin and I wondered if there is a way to have a single type plugin handle multiple object types?

If not it would be very helpful to add this, as it's a pain to write a small plugin for each new object type.

Using something like this it should be possible to enhanche TypeInterface without breaking old code: virtual bool TypeInterface::supportsType(DataType type) { return this->supportedType() == type; }

virtual int TypeInterface::addEmpty(DataType type) { return this->addEmpty(); }

Thanks for OpenFlipper and OpenMesh!
