 Posted: Wed Jun 03, 2009 8:09 am Post subject: ""Plugin installed correctly"" - but it |
 |
Yesterday I updated a few plugins, which meant deinstalled old version, downloaded new version (all were new plugin typ *.st2plugin) and clicked the file.
Got message in german saying sth like ""Plugin installed correctly"" - but it aint there in STs. I.e. opening STs the plugin does not show up.
That has happend to other plugins in the past too. I have to continously hit the file and after some 3,5,10 or 20 hits, allways get the wrong message and finaly the message says sth like "you cant install, as its already installed" - when I open STs, it really is. But why is it this way?
STs newest version, VISTA 32 Home premium

Its a bug. When you uninstall a plugin, ST cant actually uninstall it, because its in use. So it sets a flag to tell itself to delete the plugin on the next startup.
The bug is that if you quit ST, and install a new version, ST successfully installs the plugin, but *doesnt* remove the flag... so on the next startup it deletes the newly installed version...
So the correct sequence for updating a plugin is:
Delete, quit, restart, quit, install, restart (or delete, quit, restart, install, quit, restart if you want to do the install from within ST).

That should work too.
You could also just unzip the .st2plugin file directly into the plugin's folder (overwriting the existing dlls etc)... of course, the whole point of the .st2plugin format was to avoid having to do that kind of thing :-\

Heh, that looks like a secret video game code to unlock hidden levels or something. Like the old Contra code from waaay back in the day... up, up, down, down, left, right,... Does ST have hidden screens?
(Sorry, I have to find some humor in this because it's soooo frustrating)
