[Qgis-developer] Enhanced georeferencer plugin

[Rahkonen Jukka]

Hi,

I downloaded georeferencer-win.dll and dropped it into my QGis plugins directory but plugin manager do not list it.  Perhaps plugin needs something higher than 1.0.0 from OSGeo4W installer?

Jukka,

Please try downloading dll for windows from the same page, I've
updated it. Please note, it might be unstable, so use at your own
risk. No viruses, I promise ;)

To other QGIS developers,
We'd greatly appreciate if someone can try to help us build a new
C++ based georeferencer-gdal for Windows for testing. I should admit we suck with
building our plugins for Win lately, nothing works as needed :(

Best regards,
