Install Plugins list is empty (8.6.1) Posted by phidler - 09 Sep 08:16PM Hide picture I've noticed that my File>Plug-ins>Install Plug-ins dialog is empty, whether I select "New and updated" or All plug-ins. A relaunch didn't fix this. When "New and updated" is selected, the list reads only "No new/updated plug-ins". When "All plug-ins" is selected, the list is completely blank. I updated to 8.6.1 a few days ago, but haven't used this menu in weeks, so I don't know if it's a new issue. Suggestions? Back to top | All threads

There is no evidence that the plugin caused a problem, but the Sib guys are not doing any updates to the plugin database until the RSS feed is fixed, which should hopefully make the plugin installer work again.
