PLUGIN_TAGS not used in any plugin #2283
Comments
Right now it's hard to navigate the plugin list (so many!), and it's bound to get worst with time. If this means that we could potentially show the available plugins sorted by categories then it would be an awesome addition... |
Also, a plugin may have multiple tags. So we could have multiple sets of categories with different points of view. I tested it today, it works very fine and the plugin window already handles them in the drop down alongside with "All, Enabled, Disabled"... |
@lazka, @declension, do you think we could use this mechanism to further categorize plugins ? |
Yeah, I agree. Enabled, Disabled is kinda some 'dynamic' status about plugins whereas the assigned TAGs are more static data about them. I like what you did in #2218. However, I think we should go further after that. For instance, I would like that:

@ptitjes I like your suggestions. However, the way I see it plugins are a strong feature of QL. I fear that moving them to the "Preferences" Menu might hide them a bit too much. Having said that I always thought that they were a bit out of place in the "File" menu. In my opinion they should be in the "Quodlibet" Menu right under "Preferences"... |
@urielz I don't think that integrating them better will diminish their attractiveness. I'd say it is rather the opposite. |
I just happen to see that there is a wonderful mechanism to categorize plugins.
Is there a reason that it is not used by any plugin ?
Should we make a set of default categories for plugin authors to pick in ?
