I have written a custom reader and writer in C++, and have copied the .dll, .fmf, and .db files to <fme-home-dir>/plugins (and also to <fme-home-dir> as a second try); but neither the reader nor the writer lists show it as an option. We are a member of the developer partner program, and would appreciate a nudge in the correct direction. Thank you!

Hi @mmahmud,

Has a interesting link about Custom Formats.

Thanks,

Danilo

Hi @mmahmud, if you mean Reader and Writer Plugins, those files have to be saved into different folders separately, like this.

  • *.dll to <FME_HOME>/plugins
  • *.fmf to <FME_HOME>/metafile
  • *.db to <FME_HOME>/formatsinfo

See also the SDK documentation to learn more.

Hi @takashi, thank you for your reply. It worked like a charm.
