Adjust phrasing of install instructions?
Hi! Thanks for your plugin.
Either the install instructions are a little ambiguous or I'm an idiot (and the latter could well be the case) - as you have to enable the plugin in Preferences and then select Preferences again on the plugin to actually enable it!
Is it not possible to have the secondary preference (restore windows) checked by default?
Anyways, while it is of course entirely up to you, this is how I would suggest you phrase the README.md
instructions:
- Download and extract the latest release (yes, the
source code (zip)
file is the one as the plugin is not a compiled binary), - Go to
~/.local/share/gedit
and create a folder calledplugins
if one does not already exist, - Copy the extracted
ex-mortis
folder and theex-mortis.plugin
file into your gedit plugins folder: - Restart gedit,
- With geddit restarted, go to Settings | Preferences | Plugins and check the box for the
Ex-Mortis
entry.. - ..THEN with the
Ex-Mortis
plugin selected click the[Preferences]
button at the bottom of the Plugins window and check theRestore windows between sessions
checkbox. - Restart gedit again, preferably using Quit in the Application menu or the File menu. This is necessary because the plugin cannot reopen any windows that were open when the plugin was activated.
No worries if you don't like the re-phrasing - just thought I'd try to be useful :)
