Description

The field "Maintainer" is used instead of the proper Author. This effectively removes proper credits to original author, so it may be annoying. Should be an easy fix.

History

#1 Updated by Giuseppe Sucameli almost 12 years ago

Look at http://plugins.qgis.org/plugins/plugins.xml,
it displays brushtyler as ARPAT plugin's author instead of the proper one (the one in the metadata.txt)

#2 Updated by Alessandro Pasotti almost 12 years ago

IIRC this string modification was done to fix a ticket opened by you.

see: #4249

#3 Updated by Paolo Cavallini almost 12 years ago

We are talking here about the XML, particularly how displayed by the plugin installer inside QGIS.

#4 Updated by Paolo Cavallini almost 12 years ago

I think fixing this is important, because not giving proper credits to the authors of the plugin will make them upset. To me it looks an easy fix (just displaying a field in the plugin installer instead of another, but maybe I miss something.
