[Qgis-developer] GarminCustomMap-plugin updated for QGIS 2.0

[Blumentrath, Stefan]

Hi Richard

I shall add more documentation to the next (then hopefully stable) version. 

However I am not sure where that would be most suitable...
For the time being, I think an "about-dialog" (like e.g. in MergeShapes) would be best.

I do like the idea to include a more comprehensive description in the metadata.txt very much, but it would be too much text for the bold letters the text from the description-entry has in the plugin installer. Here I noticed quite different usage among plugin-devs. Compare for example, "MultiEdit" and "New Memory Layer".

For adding more documentation in the metadata.txt it would be really nice to have a "short_description" and a "long_description" which can be shown in bold or normal type in the excellent new plugin-installer...

Best regards
Stefan

Hi Stefan,

just approved the plugin.

Can you please make some docs more visible for new users. As in the
metadata.txt or so. (I finally found some when I actually started it in
step 2...). It would be nice if potential users also could see what
possibilities there are. And for me personally: which kind of garmins
can handle this custom maps (as I have two older types lying around
somewhere :-) ).

This link in the info page:
http://www.garminonline.de/karten/outdoor/custommaps/ is a dead link.

Thanks for your work!

Regards,
