In the window, or sandboxed

A plugin in the window runs in Bläck Studio's page. It can draw its own interface and use the editor directly.

A sandboxed plugin runs in a worker of its own:

  • No page: it can't reach the page, the editor or other plugins.
  • No network of its own: it has no fetch, and no way to load code.
  • Everything through Bläck Studio: it asks for what it needs through this.app, and Bläck Studio answers with its permissions.
  • The same methods: it has everything above except what draws an interface. Its status bar items are text, and its menu entries say with show whether they're for a selection.

The plugin list shows a sandboxed plugin as such. If your plugin doesn't need to draw, make it sandboxed.
