Plug-in Information Dialog
X-Setup also lets you find out information about each individual plug-in.
To find out what each item does, click on the name of its tab page below:
General
Filename
This tells you the name of the file which the plug-in uses (for example "XQ Show On Desktop 1.xpl"), and its path.
Name
This is the name of the plug-in as it appears in the X-Setup UI (for example "Show On Desktop #1").
Version
This is the version number for the plug-in.
Path(s)
This is shows where the plug-in appears in the X-Setup UI. There can be up to 5 different entries here.
Author
Author
The person or organization who made the plug-in originally. Most of the official Xteq plug-ins will say "Xteq Systems". Third-party authors will include their name (or nickname) here instead.
Contact
Since not all plug-ins are made by Xteq Systems, if you have any comments or queries about a plug-in, you should use this link to contact the author. You can just click on the link to take you to the author's web site. Note: Some official Xteq Systems plug-ins have different URLs here, so you should always use this link instead of forwarding all queries to Xteq.
Copyright
This item indicates who owns the copyright in the plug-in. All Xteq Systems plug-ins will say "Copyright © Xteq Systems - All Rights Reserved", others will be copyrighted to their respective authors, and some may have no copyright information at all.
OS Version
Operating System Version(s)
Not all plug-ins work on all platforms, so you can have a look at this page to see which platforms are supported. Where there is a tick by the respective OS, the plug-in will work; if there is no tick, the plug-in will be disabled. If there are no ticks whatsoever, the plug-in will work on all platforms.
Flags
Is System Critical
If there is a tick beside this item, then the plug-in will change important system settings, and may cause severe problems if mis-used.
Requires Admin Priviledges
This is ticked by default, meaning that only those with Administrative priviledges can change the option. However, the code to prevent non-administrators from altering these options has not yet been implemented - at the moment it's just there for information purposes only. So, if you aren't logged in as an adminstrator, you can still tweak options.
Comments
Additional comments about the plug-in appear here, and usually these include extra credits where suggestions and modifications have been made, or links to related articles on the internet.
Code View
This page shows the code which makes each plug-in work, and if you are creating your own plug-ins, have an interest in Visual Basic programming, or are just curious about how each plug-in works, then you can look at this. It shows all the universal constants used by the plug-in, plus all of its SUBs, but doesn't include the header information; to see this, use the Edit function on the Context Menu.
