preferred naming convention for plugin subfolders

[mnsandler]

so my plugin ID is Insteon with a capital eye.

do i use this name for my subfolder in the hs\html, html\images, and bin folders, or do i go all lower case?

i know this doesn't matter on Windows but i had a lot of problems with linux in the past.

With hs3 i found the homeseer subfolders (used mixed camel case) weren't consistent in the beginning and it cause me a lot of problems.

even now when i debug in Chrome it separates Insteon from insteon in the page view navigator.

I use proper casing and never had any issues.

Why even bother trying lowercase?

do you support linux with your plugins?

Yes

To create the plugin specific path I have helper:



And Plugin ID I extract from the Namespace:

[mnsandler]

do you do this because the Updater using the install.txt doesn't build the folders correctly?

I actually generate html files in source code.
And most AKWeather icons download at runtime.
And AKGoogleCast downloads translated mp3 files.
And AKHeatmiserNeo generates temperature charts.

And MakePluginPath returns the path to the folder for use in the plugin. CreateDirectory is "just-in-case".
