Studio wide events

[mkolar]

It is sometimes useful to have event that runs on any project and rather that having this one plugin in all project folders, it would make sense to give easy option to have plugins not filtered by project code and place them in a common directory.

Issue is more about putting this option to readme because it's already very easily doable by replacing main function in the plugin that should not be project specific

def main(event):
    success = plugins_api.check_project(event, __file__)
    if success:
        callback(event)

with

def main(event):
    callback(event)

Or your callback method can just be called main, as that is what the server is looking for in the plugins.

ha. nice an easy. works like a charm

Maybe there should be a better mechanism for seeing if its the root plugins folder, and have all plugins at the root work on all projects. Unless that is already happening?

[mkolar]

Can't test now, bit I think it works already if you place it in the plugin root, however you still need to tweak the plugin as mentioned above.

I've implemented #1 and while doing it tested if importing plugins from the root folder works, and currently is doesn't. Should be fairly simple to implement though.
