No "Upload LittleFS to Pico/ESP8266" found in Arduino IDE 2.2.1 after installed

[Metaphorme]

Hi Philhower!  So grateful for your work! But I meet some problems during using this plugin.  I downloaded arduino-littlefs-upload-1.0.0.vsix from release page and place it into ~/.arduinoIDE/plugins/, but nothing changed in my tool menu. After that, I tried to put it in both ~/.arduinoIDE/plugins/ and ~/.arduinoIDE/plugin-storage, and nothing changed. Then, I downloaded arduino-littlefs-upload-1.0.0.vsix from git branch and place it into both ~/.arduinoIDE/plugins/ and ~/.arduinoIDE/plugin-storage, and nothing changed. By the way, [Ctrl] + [Shift] + [P] don't work on my mac, as a result I try to find in tool menu.  I'm sorry that I'm new to arduino and something I do maybe roughly, but I'm so appreciat if you could help me to fix this problem.

Environment:

• macOS 14.0
• Arduino IDE 2.2.1
• ESP 8266

Pictures:

My tool menu.

Place I put arduino-littlefs-upload-1.0.0.vsix in.

This is expected, @Metaphorme. It's a lack of feature in the Arduino IDE: https://github.com/arduino/arduino-ide/issues/2135. You won't see menu items contributed by extensions. Here is a related discussion: https://github.com/dankeboy36/vscode-arduino-api/discussions/8.

By the way, [Ctrl] + [Shift] + [P]

On macOS, you have to press ⌘+Shift+P to open the Commad Palette in the Arduino IDE. Then, you should see the Upload LittleFS to Pico/ESP8266 command.

Update:

and place it into ~/.arduinoIDE/plugins/,

That's the correct location.

Thanks, @dankeboy36 . When I get back home in a couple weeks I'll update the readme.md with the Mac key sequence you listed!

I found it! Thank you for your detailed replies! ☺️
