Hi everyone :) I've noticed there is some confusion and inconsistency in the Plugin Manager dialogue of Geany, because some Plugins show up with another name in the plugin manager as the plugins name actually is. This confuses especially new users.
An example which explains this a bit better is the plugin I maintain: GeanyGDB. If a user installed this, it showed up as "Debugger". What a user actually would have expected is, that a new item showed up as "GeanyGDB". I fixed this with SVN revision 1075 of Geany-Plugins and I think there finally is no "debug" or "debugger" anymore which could confuse anyone. It all is either "geanygdb" (Unix name) or "GeanyGDB" (the actual plugin name) and I will continue this naming in that way.
Since this is not the only plugin where I noticed this issue I would like to encourage you to have a look at the plugin you maintain and check if there maybe are similar naming and consistence issues - and if you find some, to fix them.
I'm planning to do some effort to the websites concerning plugins for Geany, which are [1] and [2]. They both are very outdated at the present and need an update. My idea is to dedicate [1] to list the plugins shipped with Geany and just mention third party plugins (including the Geany Plugins project) there, but just link to [2] where any third party plugin would be listed. Ideas and suggestions are welcome. I will update you as soon as this work is finished.
