Dear all, the idea behind that plugin manager is great. But it seems to me, as if it should be named as extension manager. On our machines, gvSIG is installed in an alternative installation location (/opt/gvSIG...), and installation can only be done by the administrator. I fear that this plugin manager will not allow "normal" users to add additional functionality - due to missing user rights.
If there would be a possibility to add additional functionality by simply adding "plugins" into a plugin-directory in the $home/gvSIG-directory, things would be easier for us. These plugins could be something like ArcView's scripts which provided a wealth of extra tools... Is something like this planned for the future? Another thing regarding the new geoprocesses in gvSIG 1.1 (which were done for the City of Munich): descriptions should be available! Currently, no descriptions exist or translations are not correct / could be improved. Example: split lines I would recommend to use this german text: Linien trennen (split lines) Dieses Werkzeug erzeugt neues Linien-Shapefile, welches in gleichlange Teilstücke aufgeteilt ist. Die Länge der Teilstücke kann vom Benutzer definiert werden. Der Eingabelayer muss ein Linien-Shapefile sein. Lateral buffer: here, neither an English nor a German description is available. An English text could be: this geoprocess creates a rectangular buffer with a defined distance, and ending exactly at the end of the line. The user can specify, whether the buffer is created right or left of the line theme. Dieser Geoprozess erstellt eine Puffergeometrie mit rechteckigen Enden, die bündig mit den Linienenden des Ausgangsthemas abschliesst. Der Benutzer kann festlegen, ob der Puffer links oder rechts vom Linienthema erstellt werden soll.
