Plugins

    Silo allows for first and third-party plugins which can augment the operation of the program. Plugins are distributed as .dll files, and should be placed in the Silo/Plugins directory. If you want the plugin to be loaded every time Silo is loaded, place the file in the Silo/Plugins/Startup Plugins directory. When a plugin is loaded from this directory, it will be available to assign to a button or shortcut key within Silo. Silo also has a special folder for file format plugins, which allow for saving and loading in different formats. Place file format plugins in the Silo/Plugins/Filetype Plugins directory. (Note that these plugins only work for Open Scene, Save Scene, and Save Scene As.) Other plugins can be accessed by choosing Run Plugin from the File menu. This will run the plugin once, and not make it available to be assigned to a shortcut key or button.  To preserve shortcut key and button settings of plugins, ensure that additional plugins are added after existing ones in your plugins directory.
