Maybe it won't be too much trouble to add file and folder listings to the File for WebView2 plugin. I'll see if I can make time for that over the next week or two.
The new Steamworks plugin directly interacts with the Steamworks SDK. There is no third party layer inbetween.
The File WebView2 plugin just has basic read/write file features, it doesn't have anything else like listing files at the moment. (You could possibly work around that by creating a file which lists the other files in the directory.)
Currently the Windows WebView2 export and its Steam plugin are Windows-only. However we will be looking in to expanding the platform support in future.
We update the documentation in the days following a stable release. It should be done by the end of the week.
The latest release does set the Android target API level to 33.
I'm not sure what you're referring to - this is a new beta release of Construct, not an extension.
Thanks for sharing those links, interesting to know others have run in to the same problem.
No, there isn't currently any way to dynamically add an effect.
See the documentation on "Uses own texture" in the manual - there's a few reasons layers use their own texture: explicitly by turning on "Force own texture", changing opacity, certain blend modes, and adding effects, all cause it to use its own texture.
Layers have a very low overhead unless they render to their own texture, in which case they have quite a high GPU overhead.
Construct 2 was retired in 2021 and will not be updated any further.
You can't animate icons in the text directly, but you can also use the new BBcode tagged ranges to help: make a transparent icon, tag it, then place an animated Sprite object on top of the tagged area position.
If you run in to any problems please file an issue following all the guidelines. It is also helpful if you can occasionally test beta releases and check everything still works, as it is much easier to help if you report a problem at the time it occurs, and also helps avoid problems reaching stable releases.
Signed AAB exports have been supported for a long time now.
