[FeatureRequest]: Firmware update process when 3rd party plugins installed. #410

Closed MintyTrebor closed 1 year ago

MintyTrebor commented 2 years ago

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.

3rd Party plugins that do not version match to version being installed may cause issues as they are left active.

Describe the solution you propose.

Notify the users if they have 3rd party plugins enabled that do not match the version being installed, and then offer them a choice to continue updating or not. If they choose to continue, then the incompatible plugins should be automatically stopped, requiring the user to actively turn them back on again manually

Describe alternatives you've considered

The latest version of DWC 3.5 disables invalid plugins automatically and displays a warning/error in case they could not be loaded. That change was part of making the DWC plugin loading mechanism asynchronous, which also makes the UI quicker to use on connect.
