<brief_description>
+ Plugin for adding custom converters from one resource format to another in the editor resource picker context menu; for example, converting a [StandardMaterial3D] to a [ShaderMaterial].
</brief_description>
<description>
+ [EditorResourceConversionPlugin] is invoked when the context menu is brought up for a resource in the editor inspector. Relevant conversion plugins will appear as menu options to convert the given resource to a target type.
+ Below shows an example of a basic plugin that will convert an [ImageTexture] to a [PortableCompressedTexture2D].
+ [codeblocks]
+ [gdscript]
+ extends EditorResourceConversionPlugin
+
+ func _handles(resource : Resource):
+ return resource is ImageTexture
+
+ func _converts_to():
+ return "PortableCompressedTexture2D"
+
+ func _convert(itex : Resource):
+ var ptex = PortableCompressedTexture2D.new()
+ ptex.create_from_image(itex.get_image(), PortableCompressedTexture2D.COMPRESSION_MODE_LOSSLESS)
+ return ptex
+ [/gdscript]
+ [/codeblocks]
+ To use an [EditorResourceConversionPlugin], register it using the [method EditorPlugin.add_resource_conversion_plugin] method first.
