Joshua, Thanks for the clarity, that makes a lot more sense now
*But I still ask* The only problem is that if someone is using the node version, bob etc... and they do want the plugins available, why cant we make available a method to to push such plugins into the folder via the server? I am confident is possible, and and no rocket science is required (Not that I can do it) it is just an unnecessary hurdle for new users on node. I submitted a document change as per your suggestion in GitHub. regards Tony On Wednesday, June 3, 2020 at 1:04:36 PM UTC+10, Joshua Fontany wrote: > > I don't think that's accurate.
