Is there a some way to access the currently selected objects from a plugin? I was thinking if it was possible to make a "Export selected objects to XML" style feature.

I guess it's doable by hacking LayoutEditor, but it would be easier to demonstrate a proof of concept as a plugin.

Exporting is one thing, importing...quite another.

Seems like VEditTime does not even have a CreateObject functionality so this is not possible as it is. I wanted to do a sort of a "prefab" functionality.

For runtime I've had xml export/import working for a while. It doesn't support every situation but saving the basic properties (name, position, size, angle, filter...) goes a long way.
