Crash on plugin install

[markjessell]

Hi,

looks like a great idea for a plugin, but using version 3.32.0-Lima of QGIS I get this error on installation:

Couldn't load plugin 'ThreePointMethod' due to an error when calling its classFactory() method

TypeError: 'QVariant' object is not subscriptable
Traceback (most recent call last):

Hi, please try deleting folder with the plugin. I found the similiar problem, and the most popular solutions that turned out to be effective is uninstalling and reinstalling the plugin, or restarting QGIS. It is a link to a similar problem and solution linz/linz-data-importer#146 (comment)

Hi Thanks for the tip, I modified the following two lines in ThreePointMethod.py: 24 from qgis.PyQt.QtCore import QTranslator, QCoreApplication 59 locale = QgsSettings().value('locale/userLocale')[0:2] And all is good, neat plugin!
