Preview does not show up in glyphs

[ddaanniiieeelll]

Describe the bug

Installing the plugin via plugin manager or from the website on a new computer has both the same effect: the plugin does not show up after install and restart of glyphs.

The repo is present in the repository folder of glyphs and there is an alias to the Variable Font Preview X.glyphsReporter in the plugins folder.
Using your macro, output shows the version, so somehow glyphs sees the plugin, but it doesn't want me to use it.

To Reproduce

Steps to reproduce the behavior:

1. Install the plugin from plugin manager or from website
2. Plugin is not present in glyphs after install and restart.

Expected behavior

The plugin showing up after install and restart of glyphs app.

Versions

• macOS: [26.3 (25D125)]
• GlyphsApp Version build number [3515]
• Version [3.7.6]

^ for the plugin version, run this in the Glyphs Macro Panel:

from AppKit import NSBundle
bdl = NSBundle.bundleForClass_(NSClassFromString("MFVariableFontPreviewX"))
print(bdl.objectForInfoDictionaryKey_("CFBundleShortVersionString"))

or:

• In the Glyphs Menu "Script" > "Open Scripts Folder"
• Next to that "Scripts" folder in the Finder is a "Repositories" folder
• In that "Repositories" folder, go to the plugin name (e.g. "variable-font-preview")
• In that folder right click on the plugin file (e.g."Variable Font Preview X.glyphsReporter" and click "Get Info")
• The Info window will show a Version entry. That Version number is what I need, enter it here:
