Plug-ins Menu Empty #1131

Open mdznr opened 4 years ago

mdznr commented 4 years ago

When there are no plug-ins installed, the Plug-ins menu in the main menu is empty (showing no menu UI at all). There should at least be a single (disabled) menu item that says something like “No Plug-ins”

Version: Version 0.7.2 (1008)

Seems like this could easily be fixed at https://github.com/MacDownApp/macdown/blob/1af8db3d1345094e43bcc66741e1cdd667b4020d/MacDown/Code/Application/MPPlugInController.m#L34-L45 by checking if buildPlugIns is empty.

If you are going to add a default menu item, I would like to see one that pops up a dialog box that tells us about this feature, how to add plugins, and where to go to get them, maybe including clickable links.

Eventually I'd like to see a permanent menu item that takes you to a UI for finding/installing/removing/enabling/disabling plugins.

No hurry though :) Just my two cents.

I'm a user that experienced this, I noticed the Plug-in menu (after X years of using MacDown) but saw it was empty. A search on the website and GitHub didn't yield much. What would be a good starting point?
