Hi all,
Is anybody opposed to removing the "geany" and "Geany" prefix from the plugins in Geany-Plugins. I mean at least for the directory name in the source tree, README/Site, and PLUGIN_SET_INFO() name?
It's always bothered me when I go into *Geany's* plugin manager and see plugin names like "GeanyFooBar". Obviously the plugin is for Geany and the "Geany" prefix makes the plugin not ordered correctly. Same goes for the SVN/Git repository source tree directory names.
For example:
Geany-Zencoding plugin could be "Zencoding" under the directory in the repo called "zencoding".
This is like many plugins already, for example:
addons, codenav, debugger, devhelp, gproject (sorta :), pretty-printer, shiftcolumn, spellcheck, tableconvert, treebrowser, updatechecker, webhelper, and xmlsnippets.
IMO these would be reasonable renames for the others:
Old Name Plugin Info Name Directory ======== ================ ========= GeanyDoc Documentation?[1] doc or geanydoc GeanyExtrasel Extra Selections extrasel Geanygdb GNU Debugger[2] gdb GeanyGenDoc Documentation Generator gendoc GeanyInsertNum Insert Numbers[3] insertnum GeanyLatex LaTeX (Addons) latex GeanyLipsum Lorem Ipsum Generator lipsum GeanyLua Lua Plugins lua GeanyMacro Macro Recorder macro GeanyNumberedBookmarks Numbered Bookmarks numberedbookmarks GeanyPg Privacy Guard pg or gpg GeanyPrj Project Manager?[4] prj or project GeanySendMail Send Mail sendmail GeanyVC Version Control vc or vcs --[coming soon]--------------------------------------------------- GeanyMultiTerm Multi-Tabbed Terminal multiterm GeanyPy Python Plugins python GeanyZencoding Zen Coding zencoding ================================================================== [1] Could we merge Devhelp and GeanyDoc? [2] Could we replace in favour of Debugger? [3] Should this go in Addons? [4] Could we merge GProject and GeanyPrj or are totally different? ==================================================================
Anyway, just a thought to make things more consistent and less redundant. It seems like while converting and moving to Git would be an ideal time to do this. Feel free to +1, -1, comment or ignore.
