Add description field to script.json

[ImperatorS79]

This file should contains files describing the verbs, for example:

• What is the purpose of the verb.
• What are the requirements (wine version, driver, ...).
• Possible conflicts (example : "this verb modifies d3d11 related dll, be careful with other verbs that do the same !").

Those informations should be displayed when someone wants to install a verb from the container tab for example.

The general idea was that verbs are first class citizens like any other app/plugin etc. Therefore it would be difficult (conceptionally) to add a different json for verbs.
Is there anything which should be parsed/evaluated automatically? How would you want to use the information? If it's really only about displaying something, wouldn't a generic "note"/"description" field be enough?

[ImperatorS79]

Yes, it's the same purpose as application.json -> when you click on it it displays the informations.

[plata]

Then I would suggest simply a "description" field in script.json.

[ImperatorS79]

Ok for me.

[plata]

^^ Same time

[plata]

It should not only be for verbs but in general.

[ImperatorS79]

I think we could even add a "conflict" field for listing conflicting verbs like winetricks does.

[plata]

Possible but probably hard to maintain (imagine e.g. a script is renamed).

[ImperatorS79]

If a script is renamed, you have to update every script calling it... So I do not think a script will be renamed.

Let's go for the description and then see what else we might need.

[plata]

How does this relate to #361? Do we need both (I don't think so). @madoar ?

[madoar]

I think that #361 targets the same problem. I don't think we require both issues.

[plata]

Then I would prefer "description" over "note". So in my opinion we can close #361.
