[Qgis-developer] Opinion on plugin named prepair (and possible likes)

[Hugo Ledoux]

Thank you for your feedback Kari.

I understand that compiling is not for everyone, that's why we offer both
Windows and Mac binaries (we added Mac yesterday). No compiling required.
It is written on the website how to proceed for Windows: unzip to C:\
directly.

A windows Installer would be nice, but, Paulo, do you mean that QGIS would
add prepair? That would be tricky, since we use CGAL too. But that would be
great.

The plugin should remember the path of the EXE, it does on all computers
we've tested. Report bug on the issue page with details please.

Cheers,
Hugo Ledoux
