Renaming a plugin

(1/1)

jporkkahtc:
Renaming the ZIP file, then attempting to load the plugin results in an error.

#1: "struction" seems like a typo.
#2: Slick could diagnose this and "just work", or provide a better error.
#3: Renaming a plugin with plugin-open and "save" doesn't work.

---------------------------
SlickEdit Pro
---------------------------
Plugin zip file 'C:\Users\jporkka\Documents\Slickedit\Macros\user_jporkkahtc.autoFixCols.ver.1.0.zip\user_jporkkahtc.autoFixCols\plugin.xml' has incorrect plugin struction. plugin.xml is missing
---------------------------
OK

Clark:
The problem is that the folder name inside the plugin must match the plugin file name. It's a requirement at the moment. That way the the plugin file can be unzipped and used instead of the zip file. SlickEdit supports zipped and unzipped plugins (a directory) in a very similar way.

We'll fix up the error message.
