<![CDATA[How to enable Plugins Admin when building notepad++?]]>I’ve just successfully cloned the np++ source code from git and built it in VS2022 but when I debug it the Plugins Admin option is missing from the Plugins menu dropdown. Do I have to do something special to enable this?

I think it’s a separate project that you need to build separately:

Is there a way to actually combine this build with that of NPP itself, or to put it another way: is there no way to avoid building them separately and copying the plugins dll into NPP afterwards?

Or, if you aren’t making changes to the plugin list for your custom-built Notepad++, you could just copy the existing nppPluginList.dll from a normal Notepad++ installation or zipfile and put it into the appropriate subdirectory of the build-directory – no need to rebuild it if you aren’t changing that.

where the nppPluginList.dll is also not created

So I would be interested in a solution too.
