Plugin Encryption Tool

The plugin encryption tool creates a .qplugx file from the .qplug file. The code in the qplugx is unreadable because it is encrypted with a key, allowing for the developer to avoid exposing the code. This file cannot be modified, which ensures that the code being used is the code that was encrypted.

Note: Download the Plugin Encryption Tool from Github.

Encryption Tool Syntax

Navigate to the plugin tool folder and open a command prompt from that location. The syntax is:

./plugin_tool.exe encrypt “<plugin location.qplug>” “<desired qplugx location.qplugx>”

Example

Here is a code example of encoding a plugin (named "TestPlugin") that is in the plugin tool root folder:

./plugin_tool.exe encrypt “TestPlugin.qplug” "TestPlugin.qplugx”
