bonienl Posted June 29, 2023 Share Posted June 29, 2023 I made the new plugin "Dynamix Safe Mode" Should become available in the Apps store later today. Quote Link to comment
itimpi Posted June 29, 2023 Share Posted June 29, 2023 I got the impression that what was looked for was the ability to disable plugins selectively, not the all or nothing approach. In other words something that might rename the ,plg file for any specific plugin to something else with an option to layer rename it back. I know this can be done manually but I thought the request was looking for something GUI based. Quote Link to comment

The idea here is when the GUI has “issues” you can quickly disable the plugins to see if that resolves it without rebooting your system in safe mode. Quote Link to comment
NewDisplayName Posted June 29, 2023 Author Share Posted June 29, 2023 (edited) thanks! lets say i disable the user scripts plugin, does the crons stop? (so no new crons trigger?) Edited June 29, 2023 by nuhll Quote Link to comment
Kilrah Posted June 29, 2023 Share Posted June 29, 2023 Yup seen that, it would indeed be nice to have e.g. an "enable" checkbox for each plugin on the plugins page Quote Link to comment
bonienl Posted June 29, 2023 Share Posted June 29, 2023 This involves the GUI only, any other activities a plugin may do, such as cron jobs, background tasks, package installations or scripting are not touched. This requires the plugin to be uninstalled to remove them. Quote Link to comment

Plugins may install and activate all kind of things. The purpose of Dynamix Safe Mode is to quickly validate GUI operation without the need to reboot the system. 1 Quote Link to comment
NewDisplayName Posted June 29, 2023 Author Share Posted June 29, 2023 (edited) Coulnt the plugin devs include something a "pause" script would need to do provide? Like, if you wanna disable my plugin -> if pause killall -9 nicescriopt.php Edited June 29, 2023 by nuhll Quote Link to comment
