Add-in description
« on: July 29, 2020, 04:50:56 am »
Hey hackers,


The Manage Add-Ins dialog displays installed add-ins and allows you to enable/disable them.
There is also a "Description" text field in this dialog.

How do you set this description?
It defaults to the name of the add-in, which EA takes from the registry. But is there a way of setting it to something else?

I've tried adding a text value "Description" to the add-in key, but no good.

My theories are always correct, just apply them to the right reality.

Since even the default add-ins only display the name in that field I would assume that planet Sparx ordered to repeat the name in there and call it description. To me the most plausible explanation.

I don't know any way to set that either.
