PluginStore 2.5 Sneak Peek
-
truthfully I can't think that there are more than like 5 or 10 plugins that I didn't get from the pluginstore or that are not now available through it. I know I have older versions of plugins installed that are available in the pluginstore and that I should do as Rich and Dave and yourself are always suggesting and install everything fresh with the plugin store.
Also, you'll notice fredo's updater shows you obsolete plugins too. If that's not on the todo list for this one I would suggest it. Nice being told expressly what you can dump altogether.

Somebody heard us!
Even if they didn't do what we said.

You continue to be awesome, Rich! A new set of twins and now an improved PluginStore.

we could perhaps tell you that you have a list of plugins which you haven't got from the PluginStore, and then if we have equivalents available for you
I know it makes me appear the sluggard that I am, but that feature would be handy. I have 118 rb files and associated extensions (or not as the case might be). I have a list of the plugins I've purchased from other sources (Smustard, etc.) and a file of the rbz's I've downloaded, but it would be handy to know if some of them are in the PluginStore: especially to have the update notification.

We spent some time today looking at how users were using the MyPlugins dropdowm and realised it was a missed/crumby implementation...
So we've re-invented to be more clear...

Since, in essence, you are viewing your setup it seemed obvious to split it away from the store.
What's more is that this new 'My SetUp' area allows us the display more than we initially thought. We will be able to prompt the user that updates are available by displying a notification on the 'Gear' icon.
In the m'My SetUp' are we can also add a 'My Profile' tab. This could list things like...
- I've rated 689 plugins
- I've downloaded 433 plugins
- I've donated 9,076 times
...and so on.
Not sure if this lasy 'My Profile' is a good or a bad thing but micro transactions always feel nice.

After many setbacks we will release v2.5 next week.
The reason for the delay is that w added the ability to bulk update plugins...

...so no more click, click, click
Other goodies reside within but they're been kept quiet until release
