.dll Question Description of the plugin module

[Goth]

In the modules page of Orbiter launchpad I can see that every plugin module which comes with the default installation has a description visible on the right.
All user created plugins do not have this, and indeed I searched in the API reference but I cannot find anything which let you choose the description.
Just curious.

It's taken from the string table of project's resources file (which have the '.rc' extension). The id is IDS_INFO.

As just tried, it is not sufficient to name it IDS_INFO (or have an IDS_TYPE for the category), but also to have it set to numerical id 1000 (and 1001).

Not all user modules, mine do have this (i.e. DisableDebugString and AllowMultipleInstances).

We have already found out that the word "user" is not quite applicable to orb :tiphat: As for me, I found this feature by looking at Xyon's XRRR dll's resources. (Yup, will upload the new version as soon as the worktide subsides).
