Request inclusion in NPP plugin registry

[mdpenguin]

The Notepad++ plugin registry still points to v1.4.1. It looks like there's a lot of active work on this, but once it would be nice to see it updated in the internal plugin registry once it stabilizes.

Yes, just curious, @rainman74, why hasn't it been updated?

Is it a delay on the registry manager's side or your side? Is there something preventing it from being added?

Is there any way I can help you with this?

Hi everyone, yes, that's correct, the Notepad++ plugin registry isn't up to date. This isn't just the case with my plugin, but with many others as well. The process for adding new plugin versions is far too cumbersome, so I've stopped doing it. It would be easy for the Notepad++ Plugin Manager developer to use a script to automatically check all registered plugins for updates and add the new versions themselves. But I'm not doing that anymore.

If you'd like to take it on, you're welcome to do so and submit the new version via a pull request.

@rainman74, that makes a ton of sense. By chance do you know where Plugin Manager code resides (or where one goes to submit/update) a plugin?

Yes, that works! You could also adjust the x86 list ;-)
