Settings
You have 5 points to adjust the behaviour of the plugin:
- Display full path: With this setting you can control if the full path is displayed in package-picker (see step 3 before) or not. By default it is set to false, meaning only the package-part of the path is displayed.
- Display icons: With this setting you can control if the icons in method-picker (see step 2 before) get displayed or not. By default it is set to true, meaning icons get displayed.
- Display modifiers: With this setting you can control if the additional information about the accessors in method-picker (see step 2 before --> e.g. [static, set]) shall be displayed or not. By default it is set to true, meaning that modifiers get displayed.
- Method auto-selection: This setting determines if all the methods in the method picker (see step 2 before) shall be selected by default (True, by default) or not (false)
- Name prefix: In this field you may enter the string that gets attached in front of the proposed name for the interface.
