Summary | 0004804: addon-manager: add support for categories or tags | ||||
Description | There are dozens of addons, it begins to be difficult to find one based on interests, so a category or tag system could be used. Tag/category suggestion: - file support (GDML, BIM, ...); - assembly (a2plus, Assembly4, ...); - assets (ex: fasteners, boltsfc, ...); - renderer (ArchTexture, Render, ...); - programming (CadQuery); - ui (ex: Glass, ExtMan, ModernUI); - misc - etc. Given this, the addon-manager interface could be redesigned in order to display only add-ons that belong to a given tag or category. Note that I make the difference between tag and category: an addon-on ca have several tags, but only one category. I don't have a clear idea which could be the best for FreeCAD, but I think I usually prefer tags. | ||||

This is in process -- the new metadata format includes tag information, and the Addon Manager will eventually be modified to display it. There are a number of other changes coming to the Addon Manager that will make finding addons a better experience now that there are so many of them. |
