Copy the shotwell/samples/simple-plugin from the shotwell git repo to a new directory Build/install shotwell 0.20 The first order of business was devising a catchy acronym for the project. If running from its build directory, Shotwell searches these paths in this order: Note that Shotwell searches these paths in this order. The part of the Shotwell process that drives and provides services for your plugin is called the host. Use Git or checkout with SVN using the web URL. The module’s entry point examines these values and decides whether or not it can support a version number in this range.

This ensures that non-running publishers dont destructively interfere with the actively running publisher. In the overview class diagram, the only relationship that spans the boundary between host space and plugin space is the two-way association between the PluginHost and the Publisher.
The Spit.Module object provides basic information about the resources available in the module, as well as a pretty name, a version string, an a unique identifier (which should be a Java-style/CORBA name, i.e.
When writing a Publisher to tie in with Shotwell’s host object, there are several things to keep in mind. It represents the plugins to the rest of the system (and the user) as though they were compiled directly into the application (rather than residing in a dynamically-loaded module).
