BUG: A lot of third-party plugins not working on portable version
#2880 opened on Aug 7, 2024
Description
Checks
-
I have checked that this issue has not already been reported.
-
I am using the latest version of Flow Launcher.
Problem Description
Not sure why this is happening, but a lot of my third-party plugins don't work, and changing any setting on these plugins just resets itself on restart of Flow Launcher. Also, the default settings for those plugins are not auto-populated, they are just empty.
The errors I get all give the same thing: FileNotFoundError: Unable to locate Launcher directory I don't understand why it would be unable to locate the files? The log I attached is from trying to use Emoji+.
Reinstalling the plugins didn't work.
For some reason, Dictionary is working fine, so it's not all third-party plugins I have but I think most.
To Reproduce
- Download Portable Version
- Install third-party plugins (examples: Emoji+, Github Notifications, CurrencyPP, General Converter)
- Try to run them, or change settings.
- ???
- idk, it gives errors for me
