Plugins Pro 1.0.7 update updates the code generator, offering API 2.1 (Array.Add instead of AddRow, etc). For convenience, Plugins Pro now remembers which API was selected.
I had wanted to release this with the IDE update on Tuesday, it’s an update for Plugins Pro!
Version 1.3.1
New: Support for 2022r1.1
New: Can now disable double click to edit plugin set names
New: Non-focused row selection color for the versions list to more clearly indicate what version is selected
Fixed: License manager window default sort indicator
Fixed: Inconsistent behavior from the Download Updates button
Changed: Exception reporter updated
Nothing too exciting, just added support for identifying 2022r3, r3.1, and r3.2. Thought updating this thread might catch the eyes of some folks who may not have heard of Plugins Pro before
Thanks for the reports! I will have to look into those issues.
Personally, I need to do this so infrequently these days that I find it easier to manage multiple copies of the application support folder of Plugins Pro. I just rename one of the folders to not be “seen” by Plugins Pro to manage a different Xojo installation.
For this, you can select from the Tools menu “Migrate Plugins Folder” to move your current setup into your new installation, or alternatively you can delete the me.timi.pluginspro folder to reset Plugins Pro and start fresh.
Hmm… I currently need to manage 3 Xojo Versions with Plugins for various product builds…
I’ve selected one Xojo Version installation - and now Plugins Pro obviously always shows me that one.
How to switch to another Xojo Version installation on Windows? Where are the preferences saved on Windows?
Switching between them by fiddling with preference files (or maybe even Registry on Windows?) doesn’t seem as comfortable as being able to choose different “Xojo setups” within the management app…
With the new version of Xojo available, there’s an update for Plugins Pro. Unfortunately way back when, I made a decision to use an internal enum for the IDE version so there needs to be a Plugins Pro update for each IDE. I may fix that someday, but for now,
Plugins Pro 1.3.4
New: Support for 2022r4
Changed: MBS version protection code now checks against plugin build date
Fixed: Malformed Version.info will fall back on plugin build date
(Note that MBS 22.6 hasn’t been released yet, so the new RegisterMBS code will fail to compile. If you have a pre-22.6 version you will need to remove the #if from RegisterMBS.)
A workaround for the System.Version crash is here! Also, internally the IDE version is no longer tied to an enumeration. This means that I don’t need to release a new version of Plugins Pro to keep up with every Xojo version! Woo
If you’re running Ventura, you’ll want this update (cc/ @David_Cox )
Plugins Pro 1.4.0
Fixed: Xojo version detection drastically improved
Fixed: No longer experience RuntimeException on beta versions of Ventura
Thank you, Tim! Very handy tool to have. In case some users don’t know, this works on Linux, installed under WINE. There are quite a few misalignments in the interface, but not enough to prevent Linux users from benefiting from this cool app.
Released an update today adding support for a download manager on Mac
Plugins Pro 1.5.0
New: Plugin update downloads can now be sent directly to the download manager Folx
Fixed: Closing the license manager with an active cell no longer causes a NilObjectException
New: Plugin update downloads can now be sent directly to the download manager Leech
Fixed: Downloading plugins from the post-update check now respects download manager setting
