Plugin Manager that allows you to install, update and remove plugins for Notepad++.
A centrally hosted XML file holds the list of plugins, that the plugin manager downloads and processes against the list of installed plugins.
Features
Install, Update and Remove all existing plugins
Notify when an installed plugin has an update available, and allow the user to update directly
Calculate dependencies between plugins, any plugin can depend on another plugin, which will be installed automatically if the user installs the initial plugin
Install all supplemental files as well as the plugin file itself (e.g. config, doc, extra libraries)
Automatic installation of the correct version (ANSI/Unicode) for your Notepad++
Validation of DLLs copied, against a central list of valid files. This slightly mitigates the risk of automatically downloading updates.
Only plugins that are compatible with your Notepad++ are shown
Plugins can be put into categories - a suggestion was made of "Official, Common and Others". Currently all plugins are in the "Others" category, as I think there needs to be some agreement as to what determines an "Official" plugin and which plugins are "Common".
Plugin Manager is able to update itself, and will notify the user when an update is available
Proxies are supported, just change the setting
Updates can be ignored, and the user will not be alerted to that update again, until a further new version of that plugin is released.
The local plugin list file is only downloaded when something has changed - the MD5sum of the file is compared to the server's version, and if it is different, then a new copy is downloaded.
New for 0.9: Works with plugins that are installed multiple times - update them all or individually
