How do I create my own quick drop .vi?

I see where the .vi's should go : <LabVIEW>\resource\dialog\QuickDrop\plugins\

And I could start by using one of the .vi's I find in here, but I bet there is an "official" template somewhere?  Can we add this info to the "featured documents" or intro?

I know I saw a template somewhere but can't seem to find it at the moment.  Here is an unofficial one that looks like it would work nicely.

It should be one directory up from the plugins folder. You should have a QuickDrop Plugin Template.vit located at <LabVIEW>\resource\dialog\QuickDrop.

Here's a blog post I wrote that discusses how to write custom Quick Drop plugins, including a note about the shipping template:
