Sorry if this is a newbie question. I'm making a python exporter and I'd like to show version of the plugin in the header and also a name of the object the user is exporting.
For example: "You are exporting object: " + op.GetName()
In script it was easy, I used a global variable, but now I'm trying to rework the script into a plugin and I don't understand how to get it into the . res file.
The string part comes from a .str resource, I got that... but where do I append the variable? I'm new to python modules as well and I guess the answer lies there somewhere.
Thank you.

Hi,
What kind of plugin are you developing? A SceneSaverData? A CommandData?
Also do you want to set the title of the dialog or the text for another gadget? -

Hi Yannick,
an open source plugin that exports meshes from the scene to json format, compatible with three.js webgl library. I have it working as a script and now I'm trying to rework it into a plugin.
I'd like a version number in the title of the dialog (preferably from a variable, appended to the name of the plugin) and selected object name also appended to a string in static text gadget in the dialog.
Can it be done? It was possible in the script. Should I share the code?
Thanks for helping me out. -

Sharing the code (only the relevant part, ideally still runnabld) would help.
You can set the text on the title bar of a dialog with GeDialog.SetTitle()

Ah, ok that's a way to do it. I was looking for a way to access variables from the dialog template and it didn't occur to me I can set it after the dialog is loaded from the python code. Thanks for nudging me in the right direction.
Problem solved then.
