Missing from plugins list #344

Closed RichardD2 closed 1 year ago

ComparePlus is no longer listed in the "plugins admin" list, so it cannot be installed on a new computer. Only the old "Compare" plugin is listed.

What Notepad++ version are you using? In the down-right corner of the PluginsAdmin is written the plugin list version. What is it? You could also check the Installed or Update tabs of PluginsAdmin window to make sure ComparePlus is not already installed.

Notepad++ v8.4.8 Plugin list version 1.5.7

I've tried on multiple machines - mine, which already has ComparePlus installed, and others which don't have it installed. It's not listed on any of them.

I've also opened an issue on the plugin list repository, in case it's their problem: Missing pluin - Issue #560

NPP v8.4.8 and Plugin list v1.5.7 are valid and ComparePlus should be there.

If on your machine you already have ComparePlus then it is normal that you are not seeing it in PluginsAdmin window under Available tab. In that case it should be under Installed tab or under Updates tab if there is a newer plugin version.

As to the new machines - I suppose the Notepad++ version installed on them is also 8.4.8, correct? Are they the same architecture/bitness as yours? I'm asking because the plugin comes in 3 variants - for Win32, Win64 and ARM64 depending on your Notepad++ variant (and the machine respectively). The Notepad++ is installed on those machines and it is not the portable version, right?

Aha! It's not showing as installed, and the toolbar isn't visible, but it is showing in the "updates" list.

Seems a bit odd, but at least I can get it back up and running now.

Thanks for you help.

Looks like v1 isn't compatible with Notepad++ 4.8.x. I've just updated another server from 4.7.x to 4.8.4, and the ComparePlus toolbar disappeared after the update. Updating the plugin to 1.1 restored it.

Yes, plugin version 1.0.0 is not compatible with NPP v8.4.8 due to some internal NPP changes.
