Plugin folders don't get replaced if they have different names

Issue #146 new
Donovan Keith created an issue

I installed Andy's plugin CleanMode via CV Toolbox - it was version 0.2 and I think the folder was named:

CleanView v0.2

I then updated it via toolbox - but when I looked in my plugins folder I saw two folders: CleanView v0.2 and Clean View v0.2.1

This will likely lead to loading conflicts.

    Yeah, we need to work up some more defined specs on how resources should be packaged - like not including the version number in the folder name.

    In the meantime, it's probably best if you let me handle updates to the XML file. The problem is nobody is telling me when anything changes. I found out from Facebook that Andy's plugin was live. I didn't know he'd updated it until your bug reports.

    I adjusted the XML file so that the directory is renamed CleanMode without the version number. Still screws up people who downloaded in the last few hours, but it's probably not ideal to keep adding the version number to the folder.

    Good call, I'll route all future updates of the XML through you, as you seem to be the person that actually has a handle on how it works.
