Add-Ins Configuration

Adding and removing add-ins

The System subfolder is located in the Passolo installation folder. All internal add-ins located in this or another subordinate sub path are automatically added to the list of add-ins. Add-ins stored on other paths can be added to the list using the New command.

To delete an add-in from the list, select the entry and click on Delete. Internal add-ins cannot be deleted, but they can be deactivated.

Loading add-ins

An add-in cannot be used until it is loaded. To determine the loading behavior of an add-in, you can click on the small triangle next to the Load Type entry, or select one or more add-ins in the list and then right-click to choose a load type:

Manual These add-ins are not loaded until you click the Load button in this dialog. The add-in can then be used until you unload it by clicking Unload or exit Passolo. Add-ins that could not be loaded for some reason are set to Load Type manual. Once the problem has been eliminated, you can change the Load Type again.

Load on use These add-ins are automatically loaded on demand. Afterwards they are then unloaded automatically. This is the recommended setting for all add-ins, since it enables a faster program start and does not pose any unnecessary memory (RAM) requirements.

Load on startup These add-ins are loaded immediately when Passolo starts up. This makes sense when a specific add-in is used all the time, for example the .NET parser, which is also required when control elements are adapted in a dialog.

Settings

Some add-ins can be configured. To do this, select the add-in from the list, then click on the Setup button.

Add-in info and help

The About and Add-in Help buttons provide access to any available information on the selected add-in. By right-clicking on an add-in in the list you can also access the following commands:

Open containing folder opens the folder containing the add-in in the Windows Explorer.

File properties displays the system properties of the add-in file.
