Bundles

Each plug-in’s code and support files are stored in a self-contained bundle. A bundle is a specially organized directory with a .bundle extension. Mac OS X treats bundles as if they were files, allowing you to manipulate them as such in Finder. To view the contents of a bundle, right-click on it & select “Show Package Contents”. On Windows or Linux, bundles appear as regular folders.

Here’s an example of the contents of a bundle:

The bundle directory itself contains only one item: the Contents directory. This directory contains all files and other directories belonging to the plug-in. The Contents directory should include the following items:

• Configuration files
  • The Info.plist file
  • The DefaultPrefs.json file
• Directories
  • The Code directory
    • The __init__.py file
  • The Services directory
  • The Resources directory
  • The Strings directory
