OpenAction Plugin Registry

This repository serves as the official registry and catalogue for OpenAction plugins.

Project Structure

• catalogue.json: The central registry file containing metadata for all available plugins.
• icons/: A directory containing the formatted icons for the plugins.
• format_icons.py & update_descriptions.py: Python utility scripts used for maintaining the registry, fetching updates, and formatting assets.
• pyproject.toml: Python project configuration and dependencies for the utility scripts.

Submitting a Plugin

To submit your plugin to the OpenAction Marketplace, please follow these steps:

1. Add the Repository Tag: Add the openaction topic/tag to your plugin’s repository on GitHub.
2. Update the Catalogue: Fork this repository and add an entry for your plugin to the catalogue.json file.
   • The key should be your plugin’s bundle ID.
   • The name and author fields must exactly match the values in your plugin’s manifest file.
   • The description field should match the sidebar description of your plugin’s GitHub repository.
3. Correct Placement: Ensure your entry is added to the correct logical section in catalogue.json. The catalog is organized in the following order:
   1. Official plugins from the OpenAction project
   2. Native OpenAction plugins (probably where you want to add your plugin)
   3. Device support plugins
   4. Open-source Stream Deck plugins

   Note: Within each individual section, plugins are sorted alphabetically by their GitHub repository URL.

4. Add an Icon: Add a high-resolution icon representing your plugin to the icons/ directory. The icon should match the icon provided in your plugin’s manifest / bundle. The file should be named matching your plugin’s bundle ID (e.g. com.yourname.plugin.png). Note: You do not need to run the format_icons.py script yourself; a maintainer will run it in a standardised environment to format your icon when reviewing your submission.

Once you have added your entry to the appropriate section, submit a Pull Request to this repository for review.
