Power Inspector by default uses a custom system of drawers<\/a><\/strong> for drawing the contents of the inspector view<\/a>, instead of relying on the Editors<\/a> used in the default inspector.<\/p>\n

Some other plug-ins<\/strong> however can rely<\/strong> on the usage of Editors<\/strong> for some of their functionality. As such, compatibility<\/strong> with these plug-ins can be improved<\/strong> by using Editors<\/strong> instead of Power Inspector’s drawers. This setting enables you to do just that.<\/p>\n

Only If Has Custom Editor<\/h3>\n

Always<\/strong> use Power Inspector’s drawers <\/strong>for drawing class members, except<\/strong> if targets<\/a> have Custom Editors<\/a>, <\/strong>then use the those instead.<\/p>\n

This gives you the greatest<\/strong> access to features<\/strong> of Power Inspector, at the cost of reduced compatibility<\/strong> with other plug-ins that might rely on Editors being used.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Based On Plug-in Preferences (Default)<\/h3>\n

Use Editors<\/strong> to handle drawing of class members when targets have Custom Editors, <\/strong>or when plug-ins<\/strong> “want” to use their own Editor type for the target.<\/p>\n

When using this setting, Power Inspector not only tries to take into consideration whether or not plug-ins sometimes requiring the use Editors have been installed, but also whether or not the usage of Editors is needed for a specific target type, based on aspects such as the current preferences of other plug-ins.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Based On Plug-ins<\/h3>\n

Always<\/strong> use Editors<\/strong> for drawing class members, if<\/strong> plug-ins<\/strong> that sometimes require the usage of Editors are detected to be installed,
\notherwise<\/strong> always<\/strong> use Power Inspector’s drawers<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

This might be a good option for you if would prefer a consistent inspector experience with Editors always being used, over one where you gain and lose features based on the current context.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Always<\/h3>\n

Always<\/strong> use Editors<\/strong> for all targets, never <\/strong>Power Inspector’s drawers<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

You will lose access to some features of Power Inspector, but compatibility with other plug-ins will be maximized.<\/p>\n

This might be a good option if you have plug-ins or scripts that rely on Editors being used for drawing class members, but they are not detected by Power Inspector automatically when using the other available settings.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
