Hello all

I wanted to know if it was possible to install two versions of the same plugin and have them work separately. I want the old version for a functionality that is missing from the new one.

I got as far as changing the name in __init__.py so the old version didn't overwrite the new, and in the Plug-ins menu they both show up separately, but I can't find the old version in Toolbars & menus, it's just missing for some reason.

So I can't actually use it.

Any suggestions on what else needs to be edited or what I could do to make this work?
Many thanks!
