Hi together, in special plugin developers ;)
We currently are in the situation, that a user just sees the Geany-Plugins version when reporting bugs [1] but in the plugin manager in Geany just sees the version of the plugin itself. This might be confusing when the user doesn't remember which version of Geany-Plugins he actually has installed.
Some plugins already have the same version as Geany-Plugins. This isn't that good anymore when a new plugin arrives in the Geany-Plugins project. Imagine before joining Geany-Plugins the version was 0.0.3 and after joining it directly jumps to 0.21. Here are some alternate suggestions:
* change the version string for each plugin, e.g. 0.0.1-gp0.20 * change the text in the description (something like "this is foobar 0.0.1 brought to you by Geany-Plugins 0.20")
They additionally would fix another issue which will come up the more plugins Geany will get: Differing between the "provider" of the plugin - was this Geany-Plugins or was it delivered with Geany, or is it a completely other third-party plugin?
Maybe someone of you has also suggestions or thoughts on this, please let us know. :)
Regards, Dominic
