<div dir="ltr">What I don't understand is why "except Exception: pass" is even an issue. Why would it be a critical error? I grew up in the old days of Python programming so I am sure programmers of today are better at proper programming, but I used that technique for a purpose and in many cases is not an error.<div><br></div><div>The other issue is, I'm retired and I don't have a GIS project. I have tried to do some minimal maintenance, but I have no real reason to continue supporting the plugins so when the QGIS checks require that I make some big changes, I am not sure I am willing to put in the time.</div><div><br></div><div>I wouldn't mind if someone would like to take ownership of some of my plugins (<a href="https://plugins.qgis.org/plugins/author/Calvin%20Hamilton/">https://plugins.qgis.org/plugins/author/Calvin%20Hamilton/</a>) if they think they are worthwhile. If I had a fun archaeology or some other GIS project, it would help keep interest in QGIS. I imagine that I will use QGIS from time to time, but I am currently doing other things.</div></div><br><div class="gmail_quote gmail_quote_container"><div dir="ltr" class="gmail_attr">On Thu, Sep 17, 2026 at 2:18 AM Richard Duivenvoorde <<a href="mailto:rdmailings@duif.net">rdmailings@duif.net</a>> wrote:<br></div><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0px 0px 0px 0.8ex;border-left:1px solid rgb(204,204,204);padding-left:1ex">I see you use de logging module in some of your code.

(Honestly, having this helped me find an issue some time ago in a plugin...)<br>

I don't care about code style, I'll just assume it's awful, vibe-coded (based on recent plugin submissions I've looked at), or both.<br>
