Naming plugins without extension #314

Closed chew-z closed 2 years ago

chew-z commented 2 years ago

I have built my own binary plugin named feuvol.3m and it didn't get refreshed every 3 minutes. Changed plugin name to feuvol.3m.gobinary and it gets refreshed OK.

But binaries usually do not have extension so this is confusing a bit.

In my own usage I do one of the two:

Follow the 3 part naming scheme, usually like this: plugin.5m.swiftbar
Or use the Cron Schedule, since binary plugins support metadata as well

Sure...

I have been migrating from xbar and this is one of few oddities, where I had to guess. It is also not so clear from reading README so perhaps worth clarification for other users...
