manifest.json

The manifest.json file contains information about the plugin.

Per default the file looks like this:

manifest.json
{
    "version": "",
    "thumbnail": "",
    "id": "",
    "name": ""
}

As you can see there are four keys you can set.

Name Description
version The version of your plugin. This has currently no effect at all.
thumbnail The path to the thumbnail you want to show in the store. This is really important.
id The unique id of your plugin in reverse domain name notation. Because Python has problems if the name contains dots, you must replace them with underscores.
name The name of your plugin. This will only be shown in the store.
