Please add FLEXIcontent to the field plugin names to make them easier to find via the plugins filter, and to make the Plugin Name consistent with the Joomla plugin naming convention.

Right now if a user filters on "flexi" in the Plugin Manager - none of the FLEXIcontent fields plugins are found.
This is going to confuse new users.
Yes, the Type drop-down may be used to find the plugins, but a new user does not know the new plugin type even exists.

Joomla uses a plugin naming convention which starts with the Type and then the Name.
Such as:
Search - FLEXIcontent
System - FLEXIcontent

It would be helpful if the FLEXIcontent fields plugins followed this same "Type - Name" plugin naming convention.
Such as:
FLEXIcontent - Checkbox
FLEXIcontent - Checkbox Image
FLEXIcontent - Core Fields
FLEXIcontent - Date
FLEXIcontent - Email
FLEXIcontent - File
. . . etc.

This would make it far more obvious that these plugins are all related to FLEXIcontent, and a user scanning the plugins names would see this more quickly.

Additionally, this way a filter of "flexi" would find all FLEXIcontent plugins, not just the Search and System plugins.

Thanks.

Ken

I have already changed this on my testing server.
Example with "flexi" filter.
