Add a new DType type?

[sphh]

I want to develop a new DType.

I know, that DTypes are defined in ryvencore/dtypes/dtypes.py and that the corresponding GUI widget is selected in ryvencore_qt/src/flows/nodes/PortItem.py. I could add my new DType there, but is it also possible to add a new DType type without touching ryven's source code? How would I do it?

No, currently there is no way to register new dtypes from outside. But you can simply add a custom widget instead. Something like

my_widget_spec = {'widget': MyWidget, 'widget pos': 'below'}

class MyNode(Node):
    inputs = [
        NodeInputBP(label='a', add_data=my_widget_spec),
        NodeInputBP(label='b', add_data=my_widget_spec),
    ]

Yes, that's how I do it now. But it looks, like DType's have more built-in features, which would be great to have.
