Title: Plugin Area Option Rewamped!
Post by: KtW on 28 07 2015, 08:14:11

Looking At The Options > Plugin Area I've Thought About These Features That It Will Be Nice To Have:

1- A New Column "Date"

2- A New Column "New" (actual plugin version number available to install)
    And Maybe With Mouse Over It Can Show What's Updated Regarding The Actual Installed Version

3- Sortable Column Title (so i can sort by date for example and see what's new)

4- Ability So See All The Plugins Even The Not Installed / Experimental / Beta
    So I Can Decide To Use New One For Example I've Found Whatsapp Plugin Yesterday!

5- Direct Download And Install Of The Plugins (maybe without restarting miranda)

6- Save Actual Plugins Configurations As A List/File As A Backup To Import Later

7- Safe Mode / Test Mode Restart/Start
    So If A Crash Occur When I've Just Enabled A New Plugin I Can Revert Back The Changes...


What Do You Think About? ...I've Divided In Point So You Can Talk About The Specific Ideas Or Add New Ones

Thanks And Keep Up!

Well, for updating existing addons and installing new addons, please use PluginUpdater (http://wiki.miranda-ng.org/index.php?title=Plugin:PluginUpdater/en). It can do some of the things you requested , but not all.
And no, I don't like the idea to put it into "Plugin" options.

And actually CrashDumper (http://wiki.miranda-ng.org/index.php?title=Plugin:CrashDumper/en) Can export a list of plugins.
