Description

WARNING: this needs to be coordinated with the localization team to avoid problems see https://github.com/microsoft/PowerToys/pull/9196 and https://github.com/microsoft/PowerToys/pull/9210

PT Run plugins should follow the same naming convention as the Service and System plugins. See https://github.com/microsoft/PowerToys/pull/8974 for reference.

This task affects:

  • Visual Studio projects' names
  • Binaries' names
  • folders' hierarchy
  • projects' namespaces

Given this work impacts several projects, we should open individual PRs for each plugin:

  • Calculator
  • Folder
  • Indexer
  • Shell
  • Uri
  • WindowWalker

Contributor guide

Research direction
Review the naming convention reference PR #8974 and apply the schema to each plugin's projects, binaries, folders, and namespaces. Focus on the remaining plugins: Folder, Indexer, Shell, Uri, WindowWalker.
