    Hello everyone,

    in relation to the various plugins and their updates which follow one another through time, may I suggest a method to be followed by all for a more orderly and immediate understanding...

    All zip plugin files (and not just some) they should be created indicating in the name of the same plugin the correct version number.

    For example: for the last GP Bikes Plugin 1.0.8.1... when we are going to download the plugin in the windows download is show GPBikes_Plugin.zip while it would be more correct and orderly indicate GBBikes_Plugin_1.0.8.1.zip.

    Another example: the recent Automobilista Plugin 1.01 has its corresponding zip file show as Automobilista_Plugin.zip and equally with his previous Automobilista Plugin 1.0, while it would be more correct to indicate Automobilista_Plugin_1.01.zip

    Certainly there are many plugins that show the correct indication about the right version but also many others that does not report it... I think it would be useful to follow all of the same rule ;)

    Yes... OK, evident, but I have proposed this so immediately, at a glance, anyone, with nothing open can have a very clear vision, updated and much more direct about the latest versions of every games plugin.
    Obviously is only my idea/proposal who does not want to have any pretension... it was only a suggestion by a fan :)
