I think it is a good idea - perhaps agree on a common interface and add it to the plugin builder? This might have been discussed before - but it would be nice to have a base "QgsPlugin" python class that all plugins would inherit from and implement this kind of standardization, but I'm not sure if

2012-04-17 Thread Paolo Cavallini
Hi all. Currently, most plugins do not have an About dialog, and those who have it are often quite different. Can we choose a layout, make a template, and ask plugin devs to please use it? A small thing, but it will sooth out the user experience, and will give a more integrated ovarall look. All th
