I've got an Object and an attached PluginTag (e.g., the XLENT FrameWork Plugin Tag). i have written a menu plugin that goes through the tags of an object, and prints their class:

    
    
    println("tag: "+tostring(getclass(t)));

But, instead of getting the valid name of the class (e.g.[Class-PluginExpressionTag], I always get [Class-BaseTag] as class. A bug ?

Here's the code for the test tag.

Yep, this is a BUG, ladies & gentlemen. I tried C4D Version 7.1, and there it has no problems at all; what now ?

I don't think this is a bug but I'll report it anyway. In the meantime you can use BaseTag::GetType() and see if it's equal to MYtag_ID.

I've got confirmation that this is the intended behavior. To the outside all plugin tags look like BaseTags.
