notepadplusplus

Current Behaviour

Has no "Plugin Admin" in Menu-Plugins

Expected Behaviour

I believe this thing was here before, an plugin manager named "Plugin Admin".

Additional context/output

I uninstall notepadpkuspkus then install again, still no progress.

Possible Solution

I install from official installer and then copy its \plugins\Config\nppPluginList.dll to scoop version, solved.

System details

Windows version: [e.g. 7, 8, 10] Windows 11 22000.739 OS architecture: [e.g. 32bit, 64bit] 64bit PowerShell version: [output of "$($PSVersionTable.PSVersion)"] 7.2.5 Additional software: [(optional) e.g. ConEmu, Git]

Scoop Configuration

  "SCOOP_REPO": "https://github.com/lukesampson/scoop",

Scoop uses the portable ZIP version of Notepad++ for installation. (https://github.com/notepad-plus-plus/notepad-plus-plus/releases/download/v8.4.2/npp.8.4.2.portable.x64.zip)

Since nppPluginList.dll exists in the ZIP file, I think it is a bug of Notepad++ itself. The best way to solve this is to report the issue to Notepad++ team.

If they didn't respond, or did not want to solve it. Then, we can try to fix it in Scoop packages. (for example, download additional files from Notepad++'s repo, etc.)

Thanks for your reply, I open an issue https://github.com/notepad-plus-plus/notepad-plus-plus/issues/11828 and then I try to unzip the portable version manually and re-install from the scoop, it both work.

So I think it's just my own fault. Anyway, Thanks for your help.
