Convenience Updates in Quebec - Plugin Activation Improvements

Import · Jan 26, 2021 · article

This is by far not one of the awe-inspiring, clap-inducing, mind-blowing updates of the Quebec release. In fact, I can’t even find a mention of it in the release notes. Comment below if you can find it and I will be happy to update the post with a link.

But it was still an interesting discovery so I thought I would share...

This is a small but convenient, quality-of-life update coming in the Quebec release - Improvements in the way you can manage plugin activation...

Some plugins are now logically bundled together and can be activated as a group. They look a little like this:

When you activate a plugin as a bundle, you can now continue plugin activation in the background, allowing you to browse for other plugins. This does NOT seem to be available if you are installing a single plugin.

Unfortunately, you cannot as yet queue another plugin to be installed while an installation is already running in the background:
