Registers a custom resource importer in the editor. Use the class to parse any file and import it as a new resource type.
</brief_description>
<description>
- EditorImportPlugins provide a way to extend the editor's resource import functionality. Use them to import resources from custom files or to provide alternatives to the editor's existing importers. Register your [EditorPlugin] with [method EditorPlugin.add_import_plugin].
- EditorImportPlugins work by associating with specific file extensions and a resource type. See [method get_recognized_extensions] and [method get_resource_type]. They may optionally specify some import presets that affect the import process. EditorImportPlugins are responsible for creating the resources and saving them in the [code].import[/code] directory.
+ [EditorImportPlugin]s provide a way to extend the editor's resource import functionality. Use them to import resources from custom files or to provide alternatives to the editor's existing importers.

+ # Only show the lossy quality setting if the compression mode is set to "Lossy".
+ if option == "compress/lossy_quality" and options.has("compress/mode"):
