Add additional assemblies in subdirectories to the plugin

Question

Hi,

I can use the Include/File tag in the manifest file to add additional assemblies to the plugin, however, it does not seem to work, if I try to add dlls to dubdirectories.

E.g. I would like to add the satelite dlls of some libraries to the plugin like this:

<File>en/abc.resources.dll</File>

The problem is that it is added as en/en/abc.resources.dll.

Does anyone have an idea if this can be solved somehow?

Also, what is the right way to localize a studio plugin? Where should we put the satellite dlls?

Thanks in advance,

Tamas

I'm afraid that this is an issue with Studio SDK which is creating the wrong folder structure at build time when the plugin package is created. Unfortunately there is no way to workaround this from the package manifest file. The only option is to deploy your resource assemblies with your custom installer in the desired location. 
 Localizing studio plugins is no different than for any other .NET application so you should use the same approach.
