It is not made IF you have no shortcuts set up to access items in the Plugins AKA Extensions menu.
You also need to clear your Internet Explorer cache so that any older html/js etc is deleted... -
I'm still seeing Plugins, not Extensions on my Mac. I've cleared the Safari caches, set a shortcut for an entry in Extensions, quit SketchUp and restarted. Still no Extensions section in the list.

I just tried setting a new shortcut but "Extensions" still doesn't show up.
And yes I tried deleting the browser cache, I even restarted my PC. -
What version of SketchUcation PluginStore ?
v2.6.1 ? -
I was on 2.6.2
I downgraded to 2.6.1
Thing is Gabor's is behaving as expected. My is fubarred
-
Yeah, 2.6.1.
-
-
I also have the B2 that Dave has and it works.
-
Where can I get this 2.6.2?

Here's the current situation.
PCs
In <=v2014 shortcuts might include 'Plugins/' items.
If you then export a "Preferences.dat" file those shortcuts will include any 'Plugins/' ones.
PCs >=v2015, as it installs earlier shortcuts are 'migrated' from say v2014.
Quite ill-advisedly v2015 has an 'Extensions' menu rather than a 'Plugins' menu.
If you import an earlier-version "Preferences.dat" file into v2015 you might create some shortcuts looking at 'Plugins/', these are ineffective as that menu item does not exist, it never will.
BUT when the list of shortcuts is assembled it includes the spurious 'Plugins/' ones too !The Shortcutter reports them.
GĂĄbor on the sever-side MUST include for 'Plugins' AND 'Extensions'.
If you are on v2015 and it lists ANY items under 'Plugins' you need to reassign them to the equivalent item in the 'Extensions' menu...
You can do that manually, OR if you have an earlier-version "Preferences.dat" you can always edit it using Notepad[++] and find replace 'Plugins/' with 'Extensions/', save it as "Preferences2015.dat", re-import that into v2015, and when prompted choose to overwrite any 'Plugins/' shortcuts with the equivalent 'Extensions/' one...MACs
The plist contains the shortcuts.
I think that 'Plugins' are reported differently using arcane codes rather than readable paths, they are listed as 'Other/' in the data sent to the server.
Copying the plist between versions should replicate the shortcuts.
I think that GĂĄbor currently translates 'Other' as 'Plugins', so in v2015 they are still reported as 'Plugins' even when they appear under 'Extensions' ?
IF GĂĄbor can extract the SketchUp version he can decide to use 'Extensions' in >=v2015 ?? -
@TIG: See our PM conversation.
-
I see Extensions, what's so arcane?
-
No issues.
It turns out that on MACs GĂĄbor keeps 'Other' and also uses 'Plugins' OR 'Extensions' when they are available...
In the MAC's plist it's difficult to trap where some menu items are, so they go in 'Other' [not used on PCs], and the 'Plugins'/AKA 'Extensions' list is also used if they have entries.
Reading the MAC's plist into a 'readable' format is the challenge...On the PC we need to trap for users who import a dat file from an older version that includes 'Plugins/...' as that is NOT reflected in a corresponding 'Extensions/...' entry...
At least the report'd show them what's up in v2015 ! -

Not really sure what you're trying to say with your last paragraph, but as I said before, I had already changed all Shortcuts to the extensions menu before I even reported this problem here. Still, extensions does not show up at all.
edit: alright, I finally got it. I had to reset Shortcuts completely and then assign new shortcuts altogether, and now Extensions shows up.
Not sure what you did
But for most PC users Extensions DO list properly.
Have you resized the dialog to see the bottom part ?
Have you definitely cleared the Internet Explorer cache ?
The only 'real' PC issue is displaying Extensions AND Plugins in v2015, if the user has imported an older dat file... -

edit: alright, I finally got it. I had to reset Shortcuts completely and then assign new shortcuts altogether, and now Extensions has appeared. But importing from SU2013 (probably 2014 as well) doesn't seem to work at all, I tried exporting and re-importing the settings from 2015, but Extensions was gone again, even though there were no shortcuts left that pointed to "Plugins".

I did no import of dat files on 2015
