Prerequisites

ThunarxPropertyPageProvider requires GObject.

Description

To add a property page to the file properties dialog, extensions must implement the ThunarxPropertyPageProvider interface. This interface has only one virtual method, get_pages, that is passed a list of ThunarxFileInfo objects and returns a list of ThunarxPropertyPage objects.

Details

ThunarxPropertyPageProvider

typedef struct _ThunarxPropertyPageProvider ThunarxPropertyPageProvider;

Property page provider type.

struct ThunarxPropertyPageProviderIface

struct ThunarxPropertyPageProviderIface {
  GList *(*get_pages) (ThunarxPropertyPageProvider *provider,
                       GList                       *files);
};

Interface with virtual methods implemented by extensions that provide additional pages for the file properties dialog.

get_pages ()

 see thunarx_property_page_provider_get_pages().

thunarx_property_page_provider_get_pages ()

GList *             thunarx_property_page_provider_get_pages
                                                        (ThunarxPropertyPageProvider *provider,
                                                         GList *files);

Returns the list of ThunarxPropertyPages that provider has to offer for files.

Extensions that implement this interface, must first check whether they support all the ThunarxFileInfos in the list of files. Most extensions will probably only support ThunarxPropertyPages for exactly one file of a certain type. For example an MP3-Tag editor property page will most probably support only a single audio file, and so the method would be implemented like this
