Add default access modifier for all properties

[Araraura]

Is it possible to add a feature that will change the default access modifier for all properties? I want to have everything private by default and simply change them to protected or public when I need them

I haven't been actively using this addon in my projects, so it's unlikely that I'll have time to implement and fully test this as a feature.

But as a workaround, you can update line 43 in addons/private-exports/lib/core.gd to change the default value:

godot-private-exports/addons/private-exports/lib/core.gd

Lines 33 to 43 in 48d1ed3

 func get_access_modifier(object: Object, property: StringName) -> AccessModifier: 
 	var scenes := _get_scene_data(object) 
  
 	# Loop backward, in case some property is somehow set in a desecendant 
 	for i in range(len(scenes) - 1, -1, -1): 
 		var scene := scenes[i] 
 		 
 		if property in scene.metadata and scene.metadata[property]: 
 			return scene.metadata[property] 
  
 	return AccessModifier.Public 

If that doesn't work, you might also need to update this line in addons/private-exports/controls/access_modifier_button.gd:

godot-private-exports/addons/private-exports/controls/access_modifier_button.gd

Line 14 in 48d1ed3

 var _modifier := Core.AccessModifier.Public 

This one change should set the default modifier for all unset properties going forward, but for scenes that you've already opened, it might not work.
