[Qgis-user] QGIS crashes when adding a plugin from QGIS Plugin Manager

[William Kyngesburye]

I noticed this when testing the packaging on OS X.  So I added a note to the OS X readme to delete the previous QGIS.app if there are problems.  The OS X installer should be removing this stuff automatically, but it's not, mayeb I need to hardwire cleanup of old files...  and someone should do something similar for Linux.

"We are at war with them. Neither in hatred nor revenge and with no particular pleasure I shall kill every ___ I can until the war is over. That is my duty."

"Don't you even hate 'em?"

"What good would it do if I did? If all the many millions of people of the allied nations devoted an entire year exclusively to hating the ____ it wouldn't kill one ___ nor shorten the war one day."
