annotate src/plugin.h @ 8713:7024b595b6ae

[gaim-migrate @ 9467] " Expansion from my original protocol prefs to plugin prefs. Things are handled a bit different in this iteration of it, but I have already modified msn and jabber to use it, and included an example plugin to show how to use it. It will also generate pages with doxygen. The example plugin doesn't not contain any translatable strings seeing as we're in the string freeze. And it's an example, whats the point of translating it..? Also, I tweaked the documentation for 2 functions in gtkprefs, gaim_gtk_prefs_dropdown and gaim_gtk_prefs_dropdown_from_list. Nothing major in that, just made it say that the list should be a list of pairs label/value. Also there's 5 new files that will need to be added to cvs: src/pluginpref.h src/pluginpref.c src/gtkpluginpref.h src/gtkpluginpref.c plugins/pluginpref_example.c the tarball already has them structured correctly and contains the diff" --Gary Kramlich - amc_grim and the german translator pointed out that sean missed the novell file for POTFILES.in committer: Tailor Script <[e-mail]>
