Inspector Panels

[Muppet_Mark-QAl63s]

Thus far I have been tinkering with a few of these… What Im not able to find is there a method where I can read a file just the once to parse data for the key value pairs… All I can get back is 'String' no objects, arrays… At present I have to do this once for each and that seems like a lot of waste… time & repetitive code. My concern is while it works with small test files when they get larger it may be too slow to be of use… TVM

Related to this anybody got an example of how to set 'hidePanelForThumbnail' so that the panel only shows for certain file types… It says a script defined function but Im not sure how to pass the thumbnail…
