Discussion: Extension Hooks

[pepperoni505]

Currently to add any extensions to the import/export process, you must use one of the existing hooks. However, these do not cover every case of what an extension might need. While yes, one can submit a pull request to add new hooks, it's eventually going to get to a point where there are way too many hooks.

My question is if it's possible to migrate to a new system of sorts. I'm not sure what that would look like, but I'd be willing to help implement this

Why don't you just make a patched version of the addon? The source code could be cleaned up to make this easier (eg. using relative imports only).

[pepperoni505]

I'm not really familiar with patching in python. Would you mind providing a simple example?

[scurest]

I mean forking the code and making whatever changes you want.
