Update HWiNFO entry after repository transfer - #34
Conversation

If you have the budget for so much Fable usage why wouldn't you just make two new plugins instead of two new forks which actually seem like complete rewrites? Curious choices, especially considering you changed the bundle ID, which indicates there isn't a shred of backwards compatibility. I also see you're developing an OpenDeck competitor... |

lhm-streamdeck started as a fork of the original HWiNFO plugin, with the backend swapped to Libre Hardware Monitor because HWiNFO limits shared-memory access to 12 hours in the free version. The HWiNFO plugin had been archived for a couple of years. I contacted the original author about a license and he offered me the repository instead, so I took it over and brought it up to date. The bundle ID changed because I did not want to publish his plugin under his name and bundle ID, and I don't know how Elgato would view that either. That does mean no backwards compatibility: existing users install it as a new plugin. Shayne/exension withdrew his version from the Elgato Marketplace at my request, so the two are not offered side by side. DeckBridge was a private experiment to see how close I could get to the original Stream Deck software in look and feel, with Wine emulation to run Marketplace plugins. Elgato's DRM requirement made that a dead end. It does have a Stream Deck + emulator with dials, which the official software doesn't. I built it to develop the dial actions in this plugin because I don't own that hardware. I made it public after seeing people on the Maker Discord ask for that as a service. I have no further plans for it. |

I was gonna be surprised that you built a whole renderer for the encoder layouts, since it took FrostyCoolSlug quite a while to do it for OpenDeck, but then I remembered, Claude Fable... |

That, or spend about €200 on a Stream Deck + that I have no immediate use for and that doesn't answer my stupid questions, plan my holidays, help me DM D&D sessions, clean up my scripts at work, walk me through the games I'm stuck in, come up with recipes for dinner and cocktails, turn my Dutch into English that reads like English, read 400 pages of SDK docs so I don't have to, find the typo I have been staring at for an hour, extract release notes from the latest commits, or be a rubber duck that talks back at two in the morning. |

Don't worry, I know... here's my last 5 days with Claude |

The HWiNFO plugin moved from
shayne/hwinfo-streamdecktomoeilijk/hwinfo-streamdeckand its bundle ID changed accordingly. The catalogue still keys it under the old bundle ID and lists the previous author, so the install deeplink points at an ID the plugin no longer uses.This updates the entry to match the current manifest (
com.moeilijk.hwinfo, authormoeilijk, v3.1.1.0) and the current repository, moves it to its alphabetical position by repository URL, and replaces the icon with the plugin's currentpluginIcon@2x.png. Name and description are unchanged.
