Description Netterfield 2004-10-26 18:17:43 UTC
Version:           1.0.0_devel (using KDE 3.3.0, Gentoo)
Compiler:          gcc version 3.3.4 20040623 (Gentoo Linux 3.3.4-r1, ssp-3.3.2-2, pie-8.7.6)
OS:                Linux (i686) release 2.6.8-gentoo-r3

Without some sort of assist, it is difficult to use plugins in equations:  there is no list of availible plugins, and no way of knowing which order the parameters should go, unless you wrote them down in advance, or have a very good memeory.

We need either a combo box which will dump in the plugin text, with descriptive place holders in the parameter locations, or a button with a dialog which will pop up to assist building the text.

CVS commit by staikos: 

GUI: Remove incorrect i18n()s on operators (equations are only parsed LTR
     and in english anyway), and add plugin() to the list

Comment 2 Netterfield 2007-03-31 01:20:42 UTC
We at least need documentation on how to use a plugin in an equation.  I don't even remember how to do it.  It could be pretty useful to be able to do this.

Duncan, is this covered in the current documentation?
Comment 4 Duncan Hanson 2007-05-07 19:23:59 UTC
No.

Comment 5 Andrew Walker 2007-05-07 21:17:38 UTC
Added request for documentation on this feature to documentation update bug.

*** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of 134360 ***
Comment 6 Duncan Hanson 2007-05-07 21:56:28 UTC
Is this bug really a duplicate of 134360? Improving the documentation is a good thing to do, but what is really needed are some improvements such as the ones which Barth mentioned...
Comment 7 Andrew Walker 2007-05-07 22:45:25 UTC
It is after I added a note in #134360 indicating that this should be added to the documentation. Barth's last comment indicated that at a minimum we need documentation on this feature - so let's aim low and ensure we get at least that.
Comment 8 Duncan Hanson 2007-05-08 01:56:37 UTC
There's also the issue that the plugin() feature doesn't work with the new
plugin scheme...
