There are also Plugin keys (class Key, confusingly under SubPluginFeatures), which contain pointers to the plugin descriptor. Some plugins have sub plugins, e.g. there is one CALF Plugin and for each CALF effect, there is a CALF sub plugin. For those plugins, there are keys for each sub plugin. These keys also link to the superior Plugin::Descriptor. Additionally, they contain attributes that help the superior Plugin saving them and recognizing them when loading. In case of sub plugins, the Descriptor has SubPluginFeatures. Those are a bit like values to the sub plugins' keys (in terms of a key-value- map). */ class LMMS_EXPORT Plugin : public Model, public JournallingObject { Q_OBJECT public: enum class Type { Instrument, // instrument being used in channel-track Effect, // effect-plugin for effect-board ImportFilter, // filter for importing a file ExportFilter, // filter for exporting a file Tool, // additional tool (level-meter etc) Library, // simple library holding a code-base for // several other plugins (e.g. VST-support) Other, Undefined = 255 } ; //!
