Accessing data in an container file (.lcf)

Hi all

Are there some API's for managing .lcf container files ?
I want to extract .gsm files contained in an container to affect some parameters (by example).

There are no API commands to do this. You can call the XML converter (LP_XMLConverter) to pack or unpack a .LCF, but I wouldn't do this from an add-on if you want to change parameters. An add-on should treat a .LFC as a locked container.
