Addon informations

Is it possible in the addon tab to show a different name than the file name used as the addon ?
Actually, I made an addon which file name is LittleNightmaresUI.addon and it shows LittleNightmaresUI in the addon tab which is not so self explained.
Is it also possible to set some informations like addon version, author ... ?

Yes, you can set all the metadata via a Win32 version resource embedded in the DLL.
Alternatively can also simply export a string symbol called "NAME" with the desired add-on name from the add-on module. Same can also be done for the description with a symbol called "DESCRIPTION".

A bit late but thank you. It works like a charm with the extern syntax.
Are there any other information that can be added (like author ...) ?

Author is only sourced from the version resource in the DLL ("CompanyName") if present at the moment ( learn.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/win32/...versioninfo-resource ). The "NAME"/"DESCRIPTION" thing is more of a hack to get off the ground quicker.

Thank you. I'll have a look at it.
