Re: [NSE] Local IP geolocation script

Hi Fyodor & jah,

I fully support a standardized naming convention for script files. 
However, e.g. with the script "netbios-smb-os-discovery.nse" in a 
standard terminal window the script name is more than half the output 
line which IMO is serious overkill. If the only concern is users being 
able to find the scripts that showed the information relevant to them, 
how about adding a command line switch in Nmap which displays " 
(generated by [scriptname])" after each script output (a "verbose" mode 
for scripts) which can be run when this information is needed and stay 
silent otherwise?

I think it would also be a killer feature for Zenmap if in the Command 
Profile editor's "Scripting" tab, one had a list control showing all the 
scripts currently in the "scripts" directory, along with their 
descriptions taken from the files and a checkbox next to each one 
signalling Zenmap to run this script. That would quite clearly change 
the way the "average" user deals with scripts and bring this "advanced" 
feature much closer to the surface, placing control comfortly at the 
user's fingertips.

Regards,
Philipp
