FEATURE REQUEST: Please add dynamic appearance to Custom Plugins

Hello Peter (@peternlewis):wave:

It would be nice to have support for Custom PlugIns which change their appearance dynamically in the editor - like if they were native actions.

I am developing several PlugIn Suites where I often have some Parameters (even though they are not necessary but optional) which are the same - and including them in several different PlugIns is a real pain.

A good example is my PlugIn Suite for BetterTouchTool. BTT has optional Parameters for displaying a HUD overlay in several actions (always optional) but other Params always change despite the necessary Scripting Secret I also want to include in every PlugIn.

Currently there is no Support for dynamic PlugIns in Keyboard Maestro - only static ones which aren’t changing their appearance if you change a Popup to another Value.

Please add support for this.

Thank you in advance

It seems like you're still stuck on this idea of yours...

Hello Taj (@tiffle) :wave:

No quite not …. I am still developing on these KM PlugIns (because of nearly no time for this side project), that’s true but I am hoping Peter will let us develop dynamically changing PlugIns in the future. Therefor my Feature Request.

It will be a lot easier when some Params are involved that aren’t changing but others are quite different.

Hope you’re doing well, my friend.

Let's hope :hand_with_index_finger_and_thumb_crossed:

In order to support dynamic UI for plugins, then I would need to find some way for the plugin author to codify how the plugin should look under the various different conditions which seems like quite a complex thing to define and implement.

What sort of things would you want to be able to do?
