Multiple Plugin Support

Overview

Some repositories contain multiple plugins. It would be great to have the capability to select one (or all) of the plugins to install, rather than receiving an error.

As an example, the AdvancedSessionsPlugin repository contains two separate plugins --

• AdvancedSessions
• AdvancedSteamSessions

Attempting to download this via the Plugin Downloader results in the following error message --

Requirements

• An extra popup to select which plugins to download if the repo contains multiple

Please let us add more then one custom plugin to the list

I have more to test then one plugin ;)
It should add a new entry to the list, maybe also let's specify a custom logo or color for now?

Support adding plugin sample repos

Add support for plugin samples, i.e. like Unity's package manager. Could be an entry in PluginDownloaderData.
I don't know if you can import a sample project, but sample plugins should work.

[Request] Support for Other Git Server

Hello is this plugin still being maintained ?

in addition does it have any plan to add additional support for other git server other than github ?

Plugins.json file for holding data on remote repos

Currently repo data is stored in PluginDownloaderData repo. Each new entry or update to an existing entry needs to be run through a pull request, taking time for it to be accepted and also taking @Phyronnaz time to read all of the pull request and accept them.

I'm suggesting having a plugin.json file that UE plugin repos could optionally have to store this same info that PluginDownloaderData currently holds. That way, you can search for a plugins.json file to quickly verify the repo is a plugin repo.

This sort of file would also work to support these functionalities:

• verify repo integrity as UE plugin
• icons
• short description/readme
• dependencies on other plugins (prompt checklist on what dependencies you'd also download if GitHub links are provided)
• links to plugin samples #7 (comment)
• multiple plugin support #5 (comment)
• any extra data

failing to install for target platforms: Linux; but I don't have target platform linux

Trying to download the RealtimeMeshComponent from github, using PluginDownloader:

In the logs, right on top, it says "target platforms: Linux, LinuxArm64, Win64". How can I make sure that I have only Win64 as target platform? The intent to build for linux then fails and the RealtimeMeshComponent plugin never gets installed.

Repo list in custom plugin form breaks easily

When inputting user name, even with pressing the refresh button, the repo list doesn't refresh (or clear with blank user name).

Feature request: Favorite list

Can we have a stored list of user favorited GitHub repos, that allows the user to easily download and install plugins for a new project?

The UI could look like the UE5 content browser's favorites collapsed list

Add git hash to plugin version
