{"name": "Annotation to Label", "package_name": "annotation_labels", "description": "This plugin converts the Text annotations on print layout labels. It provides also some buttons to show/hide and remove the Text Annotations.", "about": "This plugin provides some useful tools to work with Text Annotations. A dedicated toolbar will provide some buttons to show/hide or remove the Text Annotations and a tool to convert the canvas map Text Annotations on print layout labels.\n\nThe Annotations/labels conversion tool allows defining the name, size and orientation of the new layout that will contain the labels. If the provided name is the same as an existing print layout it will be possible to decide if overwrite the old version.\n\n<strong>NOTE (23/05/2026)</strong>\nThis plugin was originally developed as a lightweight utility to convert legacy QGIS Text Annotations into static print layout labels for publication and export workflows.\n\nIt also provides simple tools to show, hide, or remove Text Annotations directly from the QGIS interface.\n\nPlease note:\nThis plugin primarily targets the legacy Text Annotation workflow available in older QGIS versions. Modern QGIS releases (3.40+ and future QGIS 4 versions) include significantly expanded native annotation tools and annotation layer support, which may cover part of the original workflow addressed by this plugin.\n\nThe plugin is currently provided as a lightweight utility with limited planned future development. Compatibility fixes may still be provided where possible, but major feature expansion or adaptation to the newer annotation framework is not currently planned.\n\nHowever, if another developer or contributor is interested in continuing the development, modernisation, or long-term maintenance of the plugin, I would be happy to discuss transferring ownership or collaborating on its future development.", "homepage": "https://github.com/ValPinnaSardinia/AnnotationToLabelPlugin", "repository": "https://github.com/ValPinnaSardinia/AnnotationToLabelPlugin", "tracker": "https://github.com/ValPinnaSardinia/AnnotationToLabelPlugin/issues", "author": "Valerio Pinna", "tags": ["python", "remove", "hide", "annotation", "labels", "textannotation", "show"], "downloads": 26958, "latest_version": "1.2", "versions": [{"version": "1.2", "experimental": false, "qgis_min": "3.0.0", "qgis_max": "3.99.0", "downloads": 1359, "uploaded_by": "valp", "upload_datetime": "2026-05-23T07:57:10.192929"}, {"version": "1.0.1", "experimental": false, "qgis_min": "3.0.0", "qgis_max": "3.99.0", "downloads": 23724, "uploaded_by": "valp", "upload_datetime": "2022-08-02T08:32:46.028116"}, {"version": "1.0", "experimental": false, "qgis_min": "3.0.0", "qgis_max": "3.99.0", "downloads": 1954, "uploaded_by": "valp", "upload_datetime": "2022-04-18T15:22:19.666005"}]}
