So I have been working on a simple plugin to do some basic numeric formatting for me on multiple objects. I originally wrote the plugin in 2012 and would use typed input in the QD window to trigger different actions (i.e. "rj" = right justify selected numeric controls). It worked great in 2012, but when I ported to 2013, it was no longer working. When I investigated, the QuickDrop Parse Plugin Variant returns different info in 2013 than 2012. If I typed "rj" in 2012, it would return exactly what I typed. In 2013, I get the top result, even if that result is not a valid one (greyed out). For example, if I type "rj" in 2013, I get "Round LED" returned by the variant parser.
So why the change? Was it intentional? Should I not be using the QD window like this? It seemed convenient for me and more so than opening an addition dialog to perform the actions. One action I really liked was to be able to type a format string in the QD window and have it applied to all selected numerics, but that will no longer work.
Thanks in advance for any feedback.
