name=Cadmus
description=Advanced automation and geospatial productivity tools for QGIS projects.
about=Cadmus is a productivity plugin for QGIS focused on cartographic automation and geospatial workflows. It provides tools for batch layout export (PDF/PNG), mass text replacement in layouts, automatic loading of datasets from folders, vector attribute utilities, raster sampling, statistical analysis and interactive coordinate tools. The plugin also exposes algorithms in the Processing Toolbox to support automated workflows and batch processing.
