Hi folks,
I want to discuss shortly the expected behavior of plugin_help()-function implemented by plugins. Inside API-documentation its written:
Called whenever the plugin should show its documentation (if any).
This may open a dialog, a browser with a website or a local installed HTML help file(see utils_start_browser()) or something else. Can be omitted when not needed.
Well... which means its not really defined what the user will expect once he push the button. Therefore we do have at least 2.5 major behaviors: - Geany is calling a browser and opening a webpage with info (spellcheck plugin) - Its opening a message window with * a short info about plugin (e.g. geanyLaTeX) * a long help text about plugin (e.g. geanymacro) Question is, what do we really want to have behind that function?
Cheers, Frank
