Plugin Manager not showing up on portable install v7.6.1 #140

Closed jswanso closed 5 years ago

jswanso commented 5 years ago

Description of the Issue

Plugin Manager menu not showing up on portable install v7.6.1.

Possibly related issues bruderstein/nppPluginManager/issues/35 and issue bruderstein/nppPluginManager/issues/68.

I have installed the latest versions.

I have the npp.7.6.1.bin.x64.zip installed locally on my C: drive I have manually installed PluginManager_v1.4.12_x64.zip per bruderstein/nppPluginManager/blob/master/README.md

Expected Behavior

I would expect to see the Plugin Manager submenu under the Plugins menu.

Actual Behavior

No plugin manager submenu shows up under the plugin manager menu. I see no popup boxes telling me anything went wrong and I wasn't able to easily find any npp logging to indicate what was going on without spending time to compiling and run the code myself.

Debug Information

I ran with both local permission and admin permissions and behavior was the same.

@jswanso See https://notepad-plus-plus.org/news/notepad-7.6.1-released.html. Dll needs to be under %PROGRAMDATA%\Notepad++\plugins\PluginManager. Anyhow since N++ 7.6 the pluginManager is just of limited usability. With portable installation also the installed plugins are still visible but install/update/remove are not fully functional and need manual corrections as PM is not capable to work with the additional subfolders needed for each plugin.
