[QGIS-Developer] Plugin Developers Who Don't Want to Add Capabilities - Go2NextFeature

[C Hamilton]

I am faced with somewhat of a delima. This QGIS plugin is used by some of
our analysts.

https://plugins.qgis.org/plugins/Go2NextFeature3/

Those analysts would like some additional features including automatic
snapshoting of the canvas and saving it as an image for each feature.
Something like this has been asked for by other users of the plugin over 2
years ago. See the issues.

In the comments of "Future of Plugin" the developers have made it clear
that they want to keep the plugin simple. Probably because of this policy I
see that someone else created a Go2NextFeaturePlus geared for OSM work and
it is labeled as experimental.

I don't like replicating capability, but given that a plugin developer is
unwilling to make any significant changes, how do you feel about another
similar plugin be developed that has the additional capability that we
need. I am not sure how to handle this situation. I don't think it would
take much time to create a new plugin to do this with the expanded
capabilities.

Thanks for your thoughts.
