With plugins you can extend or restrict the functionality, for example if specific functions are not used.
In this dialog you can activate or deactivate plugins. During this process you must be aware of possible existing dependencies between plugins. It can be necessary to start a required plugin.
Start or stop a plugin is a two-step process.
In the first step it is necessary to activate or deactivate the checkbox for the plugin. These changes takes effect after a click on the Save button. If there are other plugins required to be started also then a message box will be displayed.
A restart of the program is necessary to start or stop the plugins. A running plugin will not be stopped and a stopped plugin will not be started until the program was restarted. The modified status of the checkbox for a plugin takes effect after a program restart.
If the plugin should be removed permanently from the program and from the list in this dialog, then you can delete the corresponding zip file from the folder "plugins" and restart the program. Depending plugins will be deactivated automatically.
Note: If you delete a plugin permanently then you should know what you do because you can loose the access to the program if you delete a plugin that is necessary, e.g. for pdfc.gui.
