We’ve all been there, something wrong with studio or a new computer. You gotta install studio again and go through one by one installing all your plugins again.

It would be so much more convenient if installed plugins would show under your account page. All the plugins you currently have installed and the ability to remove them from there, as well as when you open studio after installing again it would automatically install the plugins you installed via the ROBLOX site.

[center]- Active/In-active (temporally turn the plugin on/off, helpful for debugging bad plugins)

  • Remove (deletes the plugin from studio the next time it’s launched/new window open)
  • (Version numbers if plugin versions get added or plugin creators can use version numbers)
  • Outdated plugins background box to be a slight hint of red with text somewhere indicating it’s out of date and a new version is available (maybe an update button also)
  • Plugin count at the top showing total number of plugins would be helpful + how many of those are outdated.

Manually installed plugins (not from ROBLOX.com) won’t be shown here

edit: The ‘Installed Studio Plugins’ page should be in Develop page

I think having the plugins separate from the Studio builds themselves makes sense. I agree with that. But I’ve never seen it as a standard to have plugins/mods/extensions/whatever on the local account directory. Usually it is still either under the directory of the application or somewhere within AppData. But I guess Roblox can do whatever they like, and having them in a more accessible place would be better for people on Roblox, since most are not as tech-crazed as others.

Out of curiosity: What sort of things makes you have to reinstall Studio? I’ve never had to do that before.
