Ah ok, I wasn't sure if you'd be up for plugins adding to the interface in various places, if so that's quite nice then, I could add my own preference tabs from inside the plugin.
Having thought about it, it would be best not to alter the Prefs dialog. It could be confusing to have different elements visible when different plugins are loaded. Also we like to reorganise the Prefs dialog sometimes when a tab has too many items.
When we have a plugin management dialog, I imagine we could have a Settings button, which could send a "configure" event signal for the plugin to show it's own configuration dialog.
I'm not sure what to suggest for now - you could add a submenu item in the Tools menu:
Tools -> Haxe -> Configure
I think because plugins can do pretty different things, it's probably best to let them setup things individually. Maybe when we have more plugins we can see if there's more things to factor out into the API.
