compile_and_prepare_for_upload_notes.txt

# ----------- file format and encoding -------------
- windows line endings (CR LF)
- only utf-8 in all code
# ----------- icons -------------
- icons should be 22x22 px
- set paths to icons in resources.qrc
- compile resources.qrc (i.e. update resources.py):
$ cd ~/pythoncode/qgis_plugins/midvatten && pyrcc5 -o resources.py resources.qrc

# ----------- Qt ui ------------
- keep all ui forms in a subfolder ui which also contains an empty file __init__.py
- use direct load of qt ui, _without_ pyuic4 compilation (https://github.com/jkall/qgis-midvatten-plugin/issues/63) which is the case for:
    - calc_aveflow_dialog
    - calc_lvl_dialog
    - calibr_logger_dialog
    - customplotdialog
    - secplotdockwidget_ui
    - midvsettingsdock.ui
- for ui where direct load is not possible, compile new ui-files (i.e. create corresponding py files):
$ cd ~/pythoncode/qgis_plugins/midvatten/ui && pyuic4 -xo myui.py myui.ui

# ----------- Translations -------------
cd path/to/midvatten/plugin/

Update pro with pythonfiles:
find . -iname "*.py" | sort | sed 's:^:./:g' | sed 's:$: \\:g'
Skip files:
* */__init__.py,
* ././tools/tests/*
* ././tools/utils/util_translate.py
* ././resources.py
* ././plugin_zip_and_upload.py

And ui-files:
find ui -maxdepth 1 -iname "*.ui" | sort | sed 's:^:./:g' | sed 's:$: \\:g'
