donation distribution

When making donations, how would I donate for the plugins as well as CloudCompare itself?
Good question! Actually here is the situation:
- there's only one plugin that accepts separate donations (the Virtual Broom plugin).
- some plugins have been created by labs that don't expect donation, but more likely citations (Canupo, M3C2, Facets, CSF, etc.).
- some others are maintained by the CloudCompare developers directly (Poisson, Ransac Shape Detection, PCV, PCL, SRA, Animation, etc.).So the same donation system as CC will support them (= us). And when the plugins are based on 3rd party libraries (Poisson, Ranasc, PCL, etc.), I bet you can make donations to these projects directly.
- and if I'm not mistaken, the only plugin for which the author may like to see donations forwarded to him is the Compass plugin (https://www.cloudcompare.org/doc/wiki/i ... s_(plugin)). In which case you could contact the author directly and ask him how to proceed ;).
