Hi,
Just thought that it would make my life easier if plugins were named as
id.nasl (or .nes). The current setup is that plugins essentially have
three separate primary keys - ID, name and filename. There's no point in
the filename primary key - it's a pain to choose a unique file name, and
it's a pain to find the filename based on ID. Really, the name shouldn't
be treated as a primary key (nessusd does this internally), but that's a
side issue as the name definitily should be unique.
Thoughts?
Paul
