Plugin Loading

On startup DIMG tries to load plugins using a number of default filenames trying each one until something loads. The filenames for some plugin types depend on the operating system in use and the type of build (debug or release). The format of filenames can be summarised in table 5.1.


Table 5.1: Plugin filename components
Platform Build Type Prefix Suffix Extension
<#2543#> Debug   d <#2547#>
  Release  
<#2551#> Debug <#2553#> d <#2555#>
  Release


So the DQDLibdsk (DQlibdskdrv) plugins filename on windows for a debug build would be DQlibdskdrvd.dll. On linux for a release build it would be libDQlibdskdrv.so.
