Unable to find editor selector in annotation interface

[Folkinha]

Hello,
I successfully installed an external editor plugin for INCEpTION 38.0. The plugin loads correctly at startup (confirmed in application.log: "Loading editor plugin: Time Annotation Inspector (external)"), and all required files (plugin.json, policy.yaml, editor.html) are in place at ~/.inception/editors/time-annotation-inspector-plugin/.
However, I cannot find any UI element to switch between editors when annotating a document. I've checked the annotation page interface but don't see any dropdown, button, or menu to select the external editor.
Questions:

Where should the editor selector appear in the annotation interface?
Are there any additional configuration steps needed to make external editors selectable?
Does the document need to be in a specific format for external editors to be available?

My plugin configuration uses "view": "plugin:editor.html" for document rendering.
Any guidance would be appreciated.
Thanks!

First, congratulations for venturing on trying an external editor plugin.

On the annotation page, open the preferences dialog (cog wheel in the action button bar above the main annotation area). There you should be able to select the editor.

Alternatively, you can also pre-set the editor for all annotators in the project preferences -> annotation -> editor.

Thank you for the clarification. I’m not sure why, but the editor selection doesn’t appear when I click on the gear icon. However, I managed to do it using the second method. Thank you for your support.

Interesting. The code for retrieving the list of editors should be the same in both locations. So I have no idea either why it would show in one of the locations but not in the other...
