BUG: FL Preinstalled Plugin Version Issue

[katchy3132]

Checks

• I have checked that this issue has not already been reported.

• I am using the latest version of Flow Launcher.

Problem Description

I updated to 1.20.0 and now "pm update" crashes FL.
I dont think there were many updates before the upgrade and the plugin versions in the update window dont seem to match the versions in the json
manifest file. So it could be it thinks there are plugin upgrades when there are not ( see the screenshot) .

Am I understanding you correctly in that you're trying to launch these updates yourself? Because I came here to report the same errors, but they're happening the moment Flow Launcher starts (some 20 to 30 popups), and I can't actually get into Flow.

This happened since getting the prompt to upgrade to 1.2.0 just now. I'm on Windows 11.

Yes, after I launch "pm update" . Everything else seems to work OK.

In the 1.20 version of flow, we synced the version of all of the default plugins to align with flow itself, so they are all 1.20. However, part of the code still uses the old versions of the plugins and not the new version, which is causing a mismatch resulting in this error.

tl;dr: 1.20 version of these plugins is indeed the latest version, despite them seeming to be outdated. So you can just ignore the updates.

This should be fixed in the next couple of days

Please do not upgrade them and wait for Flow-Launcher/Flow.Launcher.PluginsManifest#512.
