In the C++ SDK, where does one 'unset' or remove the SCENEFILTER_DIALOGSALLOWED flag, to tell Cinema4D not to use import/export dialogs?
Is this in RegisterSceneLoaderPlugin() / RegisterSceneSaverPlugin() ? Because I don't see those flags listed there. -

Thanks, I see it, but I still don't know how to use it.
I'm using the STL filter example as a template for my plugin, and they derive their loader class from SceneLoaderData.
They don't use LoadDocument() anywhere.
I can ignore the SCENEFILTER_DIALOGSALLOWED flag when Load()/Save() is called, but Cinema4D still displays
a default dialog, before Load/Save is even called. -

Adios,
Cactus DanIt still takes a long time to type, compile, open Cinema4D, check for errors, get back to the compiler and do that ad infinitum, ad nauseum

Oh, right. I keep forgetting about that.
To be honest, I never notice it in my normal development cycles. Maybe I'm so just used to it.
Adios,

But you still have to type a COFFEE plugin, and if you modify it you still need to exit Cinema and restart. So it's really only the compile time and if your source is split into several files, and you make a small change to just one, the compile/link cycle is a few seconds.
COFFEE still has one great advantage, though: a COFFEE plugin will work across many releases of C4D. My first COFFEE plugins still work in R12, one plugin file on both PC and Mac, three C4D versions after they were written. Contrast that with my Smart IBL Loader plugin - eight different compiles for four releases of C4D over PC and Mac. Now that's tedious!

Actually, when adjusting the COFFEE plugin, most of the time I don't need to exit Cinema4D. I just have to select "Reload C.O.F.F.E.E. Plugins" from the Console. Now, that is FAST!!

Although you can overcome this a lot of times by simply do debug sessions, then you can change your code on-the-fly while c4d is open; actually while the code is executed, actually you then also know exactly where and what the problem is. So it saves you bug finding time. This is quite an advantage over COFFEE.

I'd forgotten about that rui, it's a useful tip to remember, thanks.
Samir is absolutely right about debugging though, it's a pain debugging a COFFEE plugin but with C++ you can just step through the code as it executes. Much easier.

Not only stepping, you can also recompile after you made some changes and just keep on running.
