[QGIS-Developer] problem while installing plugin on windows 11

[Richard Duivenvoorde]

Hi Jacques,

by accident I had something like that recently, and it had to do with the use of - or _ in the zip names...

If I recall myself, we had a plugin call testplugin and I put it in testplugin_0.1.1.zip (or testplugin-0.1.1.zip??).
When you try to install that QGIS could not find the plugin anymore after installation...

So I thought to see if that was a bug, but then found out that if you upload such a plugin to the official repo, the - or _ are stripped from the zip name...
So only because we worked with an internal website as repo (which did not strip that stripes) we have that issue.

Maybe you have something like that too?

Regards,

Richard Duivenvoorde
