I don’t believe this prompts you to download updates, but… see below. > Is it known that plugins don't install? No, but I think something might be going on. I updated the Menu interface plug-in earlier today. (No code changes - the latest version didn’t have a newer version number, so a lot of people, including me, never got the last two updates.) I checked for updates and it saw none. I went to the plug-in prefs and hit refresh, then went back and checked for updates and it saw the new Menu interface. So now that you’ve refreshed the plug-ins list, I wonder if manually checking would show the new Safari plug-in. I’m not saying that step is necessary because I got notices for the Shelf and Clipboard plug-ins the other day. (Don’t have time to look at the code, so I’m just speculating.) Maybe if you just allow checks in the background, it eventually does the same thing refreshing plug-ins does and notices new versions? > I've always hated this aspect of the plugins prefs UI, that it shows the > versions and dates of what's on the site but not what's installed.
