Instead of making a developers workflow more tedious, why not instead have a team of moderators that have knowledge in coding review each individual update?
While this arguably would have some drawbacks, I believe it’s better than not simplifying the current process. Presently without manual approval in place malicious developers can still cause problems by taking advantage of naive users that trust them openly.
That’s a good idea but it might take too many resources. Notably moderator time. I’d love an auto update feature though. Both for my own plugins as well as for plugins I trust (e.g. CloneTrooper1019’s plugins). Whether you update manually or automatically you’re still going to get effected it’s just less noticable. For that reason I think a persistent notification would work well. (E.g. plugins x, y, and z have been updated and Dismiss/Rollback options)
Really liking the update. However, I think there should be some button to click “Show more details” for the plugin’s description, without having to resize the entire window.
I also can’t wait to see the Develop page update to the new UI design. Seems like that’s the only page left to update.
While this seems a bit complicated, it’s relatively straightforward and is a nice tie between security and usability. I’m sure the process of installing plugins is next on their QoL improvement list.
Visually this looks great, but functionally for adding new plugins it’s honestly a hassle. I’ve just used it for the first time and I have two different accounts I use, one is signed in on my main browser, the other is signed in on a secondary browser. Because of this update, it’s a serious tedious hassle for me to install plugins for one account if it’s not signed in on my default browser.
I don’t understand why it has to open in your web browser if all that does is open it in studio… via studios browser, seems like an unnecessary extra step.
SO BAD we have to open up a whole new studio to het a plugin and also why do we need to open up a new google tab there is no put keep it in one studio like it use to be.
