You are so true...
It's exactly what I have done (forum flag) and what happen (no more plugin).
I installed the plugin yesterday for the first time in my life.
This morning the plugin was there and now : no trace of it.
So, I don't know who did this but we can say it's "thanks to me" (sad and poor victory !) that the plugin is no longer present. In fact I wrote to the author of the plugin (no answer yet). Maybe it's him...
BUT...
Someone already flag about this plugin 6 months ago (maybe others before him):
I saw this topic (I gave the link in my previous post) after installing the plugin : it's only when I realized it's not working that I started a search on the forum.
So : I will not be the first and I will not be the last ( to try a plugin before searching information about it).
Some people were disappointed:
It means we have to find a way to avoid this kind of situation again. Forum in itself is not enough.
What do you propose ?
I think it's better to indicate a plugin is no longer working since a specific version of JOPLIN than to simply remove it (if there's no harm). First because some people will keep an old version of JOPLIN in order to have this plugin still working because they are really in need of it. So they need (in case) to have the plugin still accessible.
Second because other devs (than the original dev) will know the plugin exists and maybe will want to improve it and make it work again. It avoids to waste the work of the original dev and it avoids new ones to start from scratch...
What do you think about that ?
