IndirectUI with no UI

[BoltBait]

I can not compile an IndirectUI based effect that has no UI without supplying an empty OnCreatePropertyCollection function override. It seems to me that a default, empty function could be provided by Paint.NET.

protected override PropertyCollection OnCreatePropertyCollection()
{
   List props = new List();
   return new PropertyCollection(props);
}

This goes along with EffectFlags.None to create an IndirectUI plugin without a UI.

So, I guess my question is... why is CreatePropertyCollection an abstract?

Why would you want to use IndirectUI if your plugin didn't have a UI?

Oh

Yes. I am finishing up CodeLab with IndirectUI support.

One thing I noticed is that when your effect has no UI, I have to generate different code than what I expected.
