2023r1 What happened to Help-> Plugin references

General
1

Hello all,

Just started looking at 2023R1 and have a problem with the one of the plugins - I think. In 2022R4.1 and prior, there is an IDE menu selection Help-> Plugin references that shows the plugins used (or available?). I cannot find the equivalent list in the latest 2023R1.

Can anyone tell me where to find this list or why it is not appearing?

Thank you!
Tim

Hi, I can’t see a Help menu item for this in either r2022r4.1 or the latest. However, if you select Xojo > About Xojo (on Mac) or wherever it is on Windows, then there is a tab for Loaded Plugins there:

Actually, I think it is Help > About Xojo on Windows, so perhaps that is the confusion.

Thanks Ian,

I did find it in About as you suggested.

Any yet, not there for me, likely because my project does not have any plugin use:

A “global” location for a “local” project ?

Really strange.

It may be time to give it a real MenuItem / WIndow who display the topmost project statistics (a bit like what’s in Get Info on macOS).

I think you can only see plugins that actually have documentation in them. Is why you cannot see mysql and postgres in the Plugin References menu.

Right PostgreSQL and MySQL are built-in plugins and Xojo does not embed the docs in their plugins.

I supposed that as well. it would be nice to have a way to create such html documentation for my own classes, instead of just having the description field for a method.
