10052	Plugin install / uninstall problems	barry.dezonia@…	Greg Couch	"{{{
Hello,

I am using the Oct 19 daily build. I am developing a plugin that I am having install/uninstall issues with.

When I dev install my plugin it says ""No bundles added"" but then it says plugin was installed. My plugin is indeed in the Tools::General menu and it will run. When I ""toolshed uninstall BphonTool"" chimerax says my plugin was not found and thus not uninstalled. ""BphonTool"" is the name that is present in __init__.py (and maybe elsewhere). And the plugin is still in Tools::General submenu and runs fine.

I am now frequently using the command prompt and rm -rf to remove my plugin and all its dependenices from ~/.local/share/ChimeraX/1.7/lib/python3.11/site-packages/ and relevant subdirectories. This removes the plugin from the Tools::General section of the menus. I believe this is like starting with a ""clean"" setup.

So, how do I get the install program to not say ""no bundles added""? Though seriously this is a pretty minor issue. But how do I get it to uninstall from within chimerax? This is a more serious issue.

Note that after install I have this in my .local directories:

~/.local/share/ChimeraX/1.7/lib/python3.11/site-packages:

    ChimeraX_BponTool-0.5.dist-info
    mdtraj
    mdtraj-1.9.9.dist-info
    traj2nmr-0.0.1-py3.11.egg

~/.local/share/ChimeraX/1.7/lib/python3.11/site-packages/chimerax:

    tut_tool_qt

      which is the copied directory name of my project

If it would help I can build a zip of my original plugin source (the directory tut-tool_qt) and send it to you. This will be pretty big because it contains some compiled binaries.

Let me know what you need from me. Thanks for your help.
