1Password plugin

[Johnnyk1]

I installed the 1Password plugins 4 and 4.10 and it is greyed out and doesn't work. I'm still using 1P6.
Any Suggestion/help?

Same here. The plugin info screen indicates that the plugin now requires 1Password 7. Unfortunately, 1Password 7 requires macOS 10.12 or later, and I've got actively-used systems that can't run 10.12.

Is there a way to revert the plugin version and keep it from being upgraded...?

Hmm, so we have two systems doing their job correctly, but causing undesirable results. The update system lets you know about a new version of the plug-in, and the app prevents you from loading a plug-in you can’t use, but when that’s the same plug-in, you’re kind of stuck.

If 1Password 7 requires 10.12, then its plug-in should, too. I’ve added that requirement to the update system. If you’re on 10.11 or older, delete the 1Password plug-in and refresh the list of plug-ins. After that, it should offer the previous version and that’s what should get installed.

For other situations, like using 1Password 6 on 10.12 or later, you can get older versions of plug-ins with a bit of trial and error. (They all stay available.) In this case, I think you want

You’ll just have to remember to uncheck 1Password in the updater when it comes up so it doesn’t pull down the current version until you move to 1Password 7.

Thank you for the "old" plugin, 3.1.0 is working great again.. To clarify, mrstanwell is running 10.2 but I am on 10.13.6, but still using 1password 6. I will heed your advice and not automatically click install in the future. Thank you again.

[mrstanwell]

@skurfer Thanks for the response, Rob. However, the 10.12 requirement you added doesn't seem to be having any effect. I deleted the 4.1 version of the plugin, then quit and restarted QS. I refreshed the plugin list, and it found 4.2. Of course, installing that one results in the same problem: disabled due to lack of 1Password 7. I'm running:

• MacOS 10.11.6
• QS 1.5.9 (4024)
• 1Password 6.8.9

Installing the old plugin and disabling update works.

Thanks!

I refreshed the plugin list, and it found 4.2.

That’s because I changed the requirements in the database for 4.0.0 and 4.1.0, but forgot to change it in the actual plug-in’s metadata, so when I released 4.2.0, it didn’t include that restriction. I’ve fixed it in the database and in the plug-in itself so future releases should be restricted automatically.

Sorry. 😬

[mrstanwell]

Yep, that did the trick. QS is sticking with the 3.1 plugin version now. Thanks!

[Johnnyk1]

4.2.0 is being installed even when unchecking and cancelling. I'm keeping copies of 3.1.0 to
revert.

[Johnnyk1]

Will there be a "fix" in future plugins to encompass 1Password 6?

[skurfer]

The previous version supported 1Password 6, so I don’t see that being added to the newer version. (The way items are accessed by 3rd party apps is completely different between 6 and 7.)

[Johnnyk1]

Every restart of my Macs reverts the 1P plugin to 4.1 and it's greyed out. So I need to install 3.1.0 all over again.

[skurfer]

Do you have “Download updates in the background” enabled? I don’t know if that also means “install”, but it’s the only thing I can think of that would lead to automatic installation like that.

[Johnnyk1]

No I don't. And I changed "Check for Updates" to weekly. For my simple needs I just don't need to upgrade to 1Password 7 and pay their subscription. Yet I use the QS keyboard shortcut a lot to use 1P's "Open And Fill". Upgrading to 1P 7 would solve this issue I know.

[skurfer]

What about Preferences → Extras → Update without asking? Do you have that on?

Failing that, you could install the old plug-in, then try making it read-only. That might prevent Quicksilver from replacing it.

Other things:

You can get 1Password 7 without a subscription (which I almost did).

I’m pretty sure Safari 12 breaks all the old extensions (or is going to in the next version), so you would have to get 1Password 7 anyway.

[Johnnyk1]

I don't have the update without asking on.
I would make it read-only if I could find it once it's installed. It's not listed in QS app folder> plugins.
I've done a search for it to no avail.

Running this in Terminal should show you the full path to the plug-in.

ls -d ~/Library/Application\ Support/Quicksilver/PlugIns/*OnePassword*

[Johnnyk1]

Thank you Rob. Both 4.10 and 3.10 were there. I trashed 4.10.
