Cosmo Create uses a database that contains information on all helper applications it uses. This file is installed as /usr/lib/CosmoCreate/plugins/PiHelperAppDB.txt.
You need to add an entry to this file for each helper application (also referred to as a "plug-in application") you want to access through Cosmo Create. The entries in the database file look like this:
Begin ID: com.sgi.cosmo.photoshop UINAME: Photoshop REPTYPE: PiUnixApp FLAVOR: Editor EXECUTABLE: photoshop ARGS: -open %f PIXMAP: photoshop.xpm NATIVE: PhotoshopDocument FILETYPES: PhotoshopDocument GIFImageFile TIFFImage SGIImage End
Go to Helper Application Database File for detailed information on the format of the database file.
For each application, you also need to add a pixmap to pictorially represent the helper application on the toolbar and in the palettes. The database file contains an entry specifying the relative location of the pixmap for each helper application.
