Plugin-scanning: menu item to purge plugin list of unusable plugins.

[Eirikur]

I have a very lengthy list of plugins shown in red that are "Deactivated after failing to initialize correctly." This is a request to add some way of purging this list. Element is great for experimenting with plugins, but I wind up with an infinitely long list of (I assume) all plugins that ever failed to scan correctly. I like the feature a lot because it shows me what plugins have issues. I'd just like a way to purge the list.

You can select them with shift then delete.

@Eirikur would a simple "Hide failed plugins" option work. Alot less work to get something functional. Hiding individual plugins would take more work, and makes more sense to do when I have time to revamp the entire plugin library back end.

I think that just hiding all of them is most of what I want here. It's just annoying that it becomes a very long list after I experiment with large plugin collections. My use case is probably a bit unusual, but I think other people will use Element to easily experiment.

Sounds good. I'll make that happen! @KottV 's note also works, but they'll just pop back in when a re-scan is performed.
