Semantic of plDescription and plShortname

Hello, plShortName is used for :

• Menu items
• Tab names plDescription is used for : Page main title

That means for plugins that are used for page main title we can't put a description in plDescription. For instance the systems plugin: plShortName = Systems plDescription = Systems management While the description should be something like "Allows to manage all kinds of systems" for instance. So maybe we should rework the semantic of those two fields, or maybe add a third one, plLongName ? (it would default to plShortName if not filled)

Hello,

yes they should be using correct name that reflect more what they are doing like

plShortName = Systems plTitle = Systems management plDescription = Allows to manage all kinds of systems

Cheers

Ok, and plTitle should default to plShortName value.
