"Plugin has disappeared" error #11

Closed barryrowlingson closed 4 years ago

barryrowlingson commented 4 years ago

If I try and install the SRTM Downloader in a new user profile in QGIS 3.10 I can see the plugin in the list, I can select it and click "install Plugin" but then I get this error:

Plugin has disappeared: The plugin seems to have been installed but I don't know where. Probably the plugin package contained a wrong named directory. Please search the list of installed plugins. I'm nearly sure you'll find the plugin there, but I just can't determine which of them it is. It also means that I won't be able to determine if this plugin is installed and inform you about available updates. However the plugin may work. Please contact the plugin author and submit this issue.

The plugins dialog then shows it twice (once with its nasa icon and once with the default jigsaw piece icon) but I don't see any menu options for it and trying to uninstall it gives a: 

Are you sure you want to uninstall the following plugin?
(SRTM Downloader)

Warning: this plugin isn't available in any accessible repository!

An SRTM-Downloader folder is created in the profiles python/plugins folder, so I'm mystified as to what the problem is...

Changing metadata.txt to have:

name=SRTM-Downloader

instead of 

name=SRTM Downloader

seems to help (although I think now QGIS doesn't think my modified SRTM Downloader is the same as the one in the repository because the name is different).

Seems I'm to stupid to do the trick. Not able to get it showing up.
