Description (last modified by FND) (diff)

The PluginManager?'s interface uses checkboxes in two subtly different ways, which is not obvious to the end-user:

  • checkboxes in the first column are used for selection, requiring confirmation using the buttons at the bottom
  • checkboxes for Forced and Disabled immediately trigger a change in the store

I don't think this is correct. The code in question is associated with the handling for the "remove systemConfig tag" button at the bottom of the wizard panel. This is different from the checkboxes in the "Disabled" column that can be used to set/clear the "systemConfigDisable" tag for individual tiddlers.

Eric is correct; the desired functionality is already present. However, the UI for this is confusing - I have adjusted the ticket accordingly.

I think the plugin manager is broken enough to suggest a reset, rather than just fixing this.
