Public bug reported:
Hugin has a new python interface, and the plugins which are installed
together with the application show up in an 'actions' menu. To make sure
that the plugins will function with the version of hugin they're
installed together with, they are coded as to which API versions they
will function with. This is done by setting two lines in the plugin like
this:
# @api-min 2011.1
# @api-max 2011.5
these lines would mean that the plugin is all right with API versions
(or hugin versions) 2011.1 to 2011.5. If the API version is outside the
indicated values, the plugin will not load.
When I looked at the plugins coming with the 2011.4 package for Kubuntu
12.4, I noticed that the actions menu was missing altogether, and being
the guy who wrote the python interface, I quickly figured out the
problem was that the API codes were wrong. The remedy is simple; the API
code in the plugins has to be adapted to the hugin version. The idea is
to test-run the plugins once before committing to distribure and then
tag them appropriately. The plugins coming with hugin are definitely
fine up to 2011.4, but they're tagged to only work up to 2011.2.
Obviously the test-run was omitted and noone adapted the API version
tag.
So the bug is easily fixed: in all plugins being dissiminated in the
hugin 2011.4 package, api-max should be set to 2011.4. This affects all
python files going to /usr/local/share/hugin/date/plugins and -/plugins-
templates.
