see my note here: Coding Phase - Week 8 Report - #17 by PackElend

The idea of the check box is to allow to select multiple plugins and install them at once.

that gets me to the question. Is it intended to render this page within Joplin to install plugins directly?

5

are you sure you gonna make this within a week?

It's not in the original plan, and I think it's better to leave the in-app plugin store still to match the style of the whole joplin app.

just wondering how that is supposed to work:

It was discussed to use deep link to install plugins (someone raise this PR but now it seems that it is now closed), I think I'll remove this button for now, and implement this after the project is finished as an improvement.

you can do but mentioned it, that is planned to finish the PR and implement it (in the long term)
