New version of Plugin Manager for testing!

Kasper Graversen

Great stuff! you saved me from coding one myself. I haven’t installed your version yet, but you don’t mention a search feature. Will that be part of any future plans?

Also I think auto-updates should be an explicit opt-in. I’m thinking mostly of non-open source plugins going bad, or public repos taken over by malicious coders. The N++ user count is quite significant and may pose as a honeypot for viruses through plugins.

bruderstein

There are no current plans for search, but I’d welcome a pull request (don’t write your own, please, contribute to the existing one!)

There are explicit safeguards built in if a plugin goes bad - the MD5 of the DLLs and other executable code can be marked as “bad”, and the user will get pretty severe warning that the file they are trying to install is known to be malicious.

If the update check was disabled by default, a good number of users would never update their plugins, and those are the users that would be probably give up thinking “this doesn’t have the feature i want” or “this bug is too annoying”, so we’ll always irritate someone whether the update check starts in the on or off state. As auto-update is fairly ubiquitous these days (think Chrome, which is silent, Firefox, Windows etc), I’m inclined to leave it on by default. The only actual issue with the update notification, is that it “phones home” every 2 weeks, which some people don’t like.

I don’t store any information about these requests, just a counter and a response time so I can keep tabs on the requests-per-second and general server health, but IP addresses (for instance) are not stored.

If you’re concerned, untick the box.

Dave.

Thanks for the update.
It works fine on my version

Notepad++ v7   (32-bit)
Build time : Oct  9 2016 - 08:23:15 
Path : C:\Program Files (x86)\Notepad++\notepad++.exe
Admin mode : OFF 
Local Conf mode : OFF
OS : Windows 10
Plugins : LightExplorer.dll linefilter2.dll mimeTools.dll NppConverter.dll NppExec.dll NppExport.dll NppFTP.dll NppMenuSearch.dll     
PluginManager.dll PythonScript.dll

My test :

Update a plugin is OK
Remove a plugin is OK
install a plugin is OK

Is it possible to add a column to see the plugins release date ? It could be use the sort plugin by release date and find easily the new one.

Thanks

bruderstein

The auto-update from the development list is now enabled. Changes made in the admin system are visible within 2-3 minutes if you have the “development plugin list” option enabled. Note that you’ll need to restart Notepad++ in order for it to check for updates to the list again.

The auto-update from the development list is now enabled

And it seems to be working great :)

Another question I had. Has there been any thought to clean up the list a bit? There appears to be several plugins that cannot be validated or just can’t be downloaded at all.

Yaron

Hello Dave,

Great work. Thank you very much.
The world is ready. :)

If you select a plugin and mouse-scroll over the secondary details-box (without giving it the focus), the main list is being scrolled.
And vice-versa.

Could you please change this behavior?

Best regards.

decoderman

Thanks for taking this on.
I use the 32 bit version of NPP.
When I want to install a plugin where the integrity cannot be validated (say CustomizeToolbar), the ‘copy file anyway’ popup is not responding, not even to the ‘x’. ‘Yes’ or ‘No’ don’t work and the parent downloader popup cannot be cancelled.
You have to quit NPP to get out of it.

Has there been any thought to clean up the list a bit? There appears to be several plugins that cannot be validated or just can’t be downloaded at all.

This is really the responsibility of the plugin developers. If there are plugins that don’t install, they should be reported here, and plugin authors can fix them (you’ve got an account, haven’t you, you’re also welcome to fix stuff). I suspect that the incentive wasn’t great previously, as the list wasn’t updated very often. Now there’s an easy way to test it, and they’ll be released within 2 weeks.

If you select a plugin and mouse-scroll over the secondary details-box (without giving it the focus), the main list is being scrolled.

I’ll take a look, but make no promises! :)
I don’t know how exactly to change that behaviour easily, but i’ll have a go.

Dave

bruderstein

@decoderman what version of windows?

decoderman

@bruderstein 10, Version 1607

Great. I appreciate it.
It’s a minor issue. Don’t try too hard. :)

@bruderstein , today, when I started up Npp, plugin manager asked me to update Python Plugin (do you know this plugin ? I’m joking)
While I was reading the release note, Notepad++ crashed. Here is the stack dump from VS and debug info. Sorry I don’t have the sources or debug symbol.

Bug reproduces, Here is the step to do

Edit the PluginManager.ini, set LastCheck to 0, to force the plugin check
Open Npp,
wait while plugin Manager windows is not open.
Once plugin Manager windows is open, you can continue to use Npp, the program is stable.
Non click, on Plugin Manager Windows on the Python Script, Npp is still stable and waiting. I can go back to Npp windows, all is stable.
Now click on the Plugin Manager / text area of the release note.
Bang ! Core Dump.

Do you confirm ?

Sorry for the typo
Non click, on Plugin Manager => Now click …

I also reported it on gitHub

bruderstein

Crash bug fixed in v1.4.2. - https://github.com/bruderstein/nppPluginManager/releases/tag/v1.4.2

@Yaron - I checked out your issue, and for me the window where the mouse currently is scrolls (not where the focus is) - what version of windows are you using?

As I can’t repro the validation failed box issue, and I’ve not heard any other reports of this, this should be good to go now, just waiting for the contracts for the hosting to be signed now.

If you can reproduce this issue, please let me know, providing as many details as possible.

Unless there are any major issues reported, I’ll release this next week, so the existing plugin manager will advise to update itself. After a few weeks, I will switch the list on the old plugin manager, so that it only updates the plugin manager (no other plugins will be listed), to force everyone to update.

Hopefully after that, the new version can then be included in the next Notepad++ main release. This plan enables us to fix anything that comes up with the general release, before it gets bundled with N++ itself.

Thanks for the reports and testing!

Yaron

Hello Dave,

Windows 7, 32-bit.
I should have mentioned this: the behavior I’ve described existed in previous Plugin Manager as well.

Thank you for looking into it.

Best regards.

Mike Howard

@bruderstein Only files there are the source codes. Can you make the dll available?

bruderstein

@Mike-Howard fixed - apologies, I thought I’d uploaded the binaries!

Thunder T

@bruderstein I wonder how I can compile and build the source code, I opened the solution file in Visual Studio Community Edition 2015, but it can’t fine some files “One or more projects in the solution were not loaded correctly.”

Hello Dave,

even I’m not the target group I can confirm that

installing a plugin
updating a plugin and
removing a plugin
works as expected on ubuntu 16.04 (using wine)

Cheers
Claudia
