1) http://localhost:8080/plugin/list.html 2) Paste http://localhost:8080/plugin/list.html in the box 3) delete ".html" in the box. 4) Press Copy Location, paste. Result: http://localhost:8080/plugin/list.html Expected http://localhost:8080/plugin/list
Copy location will copy the location of the selected plugin in the list into the install box. It sounds like you were expecting something different (to copy from the box to?....)
Oh. Well the copy button next to the box. The box taught me: Paste some text in, push Install. So I just imagined Push Copy, get some text out. In the meantime I had some experience with the uninstall. I found it clunky because the thing I want to uninstall was on the bottom of the window, I could not see it. I think the uninstall and copy would be much better associated with the plugin entries. Even an [X] box inline with the plugin for uninstall would be better. If the plugin URLs were links then I can visit them by clicking or I can copy then by well known means, I don't need the Copy Location option. I think the text box should be much wider. The install button should be disabled until I type in the box. The most likely error is 404 which should appear right away, not after 15 seconds and say "load timeout" when it is really "plugin not found at URL".
moving this bug to Anton. He is working on a pref page and moving the plugin list into the prefs.
The new plugins area on the preferences page has a better solution. It just shows a link for each plugin in the list, so you can copy the location using the browsers "copy link location." So it's basically fixed now except that we have to make the preferences/plugins page feature complete and then pull the old plugins page.
fixed with yesterday's push of the page.
