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.

Cheers,
Matthew Brush
