\"Odin<\/a><\/p>\n

If you are an Odin Inspector user, you will be able to hold on to the Odin experience<\/strong> you have gotten used to inside Power Inspector<\/strong>. You can combine<\/strong> the best of both words; Odin’s comprehensive attribute drawer collection<\/strong> being drawn inside Power Inspector<\/strong>, where you have your back and forward buttons<\/a><\/strong>, a search box<\/a><\/strong>, split view<\/a><\/strong>, Debug Mode+<\/a><\/strong> and more<\/a><\/strong> to boost your workflow.<\/p>\n

To use the two of them together you must make a decision about which one<\/strong> of them will handle drawing<\/strong> the class members<\/a><\/strong> of targets<\/a><\/strong> within the inspector<\/strong><\/a>.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

For classes where you are using<\/strong> Odin’s inspector-related attributes, you will likely want to let Odin<\/strong> handle the drawing. This ensures that all<\/strong> attribute enhancements are in full effect inside Power Inspector.<\/p>\n

For classes where you are not using<\/strong> Odin’s inspector-related attributes, you can let Power Inspector<\/strong> handle the drawing. However if you would like to let Odin handle drawing of all<\/strong> class members across the board, that is also totally possible.<\/p>\n

If you only want to use Odin’s serializer<\/strong>, but don’t plan on using any of the attributes that it offers, then you can let Power Inspector<\/strong> handle the drawing of all classes without any issues.<\/p>\n

Odin Attribute Conversion Support<\/h1>\n

Odin doesn’t use PropertyDrawers<\/a><\/strong> for drawing attribute-decorated fields, but has a totally custom drawer system which only functions inside Odin’s own custom Editor. This makes it difficult to slip in Odin’s attribute-based enhancements into Power Inspector at the field-level,<\/strong> pretty much necessitating the use of Odin’s custom Editor inside Power Inspector.<\/p>\n

Despite this difficulty as of Power Inspector 1.3.1 some of Odin’s attributes are now in fact supported even inside Power Inspector’s own drawers<\/strong>. This is made possible by a new system called PluginAttributeConverterProvider<\/strong> which can convert a subset of Odin’s attributes into corresponding Power Inspector attributes.<\/p>\n

The Odin attributes<\/strong> currently supported when using Power Inspector’s drawers<\/strong> are as follows:<\/p>\n
