Plugin-Specific Meta-Data

Serna provides common unified framework for maintaining plugin-specific meta-data, which can be associated using the rules as described in External Meta-Data Association. To do so, a plugin must register the meta-data suffix and the associated property tree with the DocumentPlugin::registerPropTree function. Once this is done, Serna will automatically save appropriate meta-data files on the Save View operation and restore original meta-data files on the Restore View operation. Custom Content Plugin and XSLT Parameter Sets plugin both use this mechanism.
