add data column for sorting new or updated dates, maybe just sort buttons for these and hidden date columns to save ui space.
probably not much space to add both dates as columns.

2 lines for descs, or overflow scroll or grow on hover or something.

1. Thanks, Didn't think about that! I have updated the plugin, 1.0.3 fixes this issue.
   
2. Class added.
   
3. Title links are now opened in a new window(v1.0.3).
   
4. Ordering by "latest updated" is added to the TODO list.
   
5. When hovering the table row the description will now expand and show the entire description, if you've got a suggestion of a better way to do this, please share.

And probably add a transition on hover, but you cant transition td. So that might be difficult.


maybe a row height of 40px not 100px

i wonder if a css only :after rule could add a more... element.
else a js solution would be needed

• Description is now in its own div
  
• Each row is now only 45px
  
• Description will expand on hover, with a transition effect and time of .8s
  
• Author and version info is always visible.
  
• Added check to see if cache directory exists, if it doesn't, it will create it.

The are a bit jumpy, but its good enough for now.

What suprised me is that there is no native easy way to do this in GS ( jq or jqui) i even created an issue to add it.

Plugin works great for me but it will be much greater if it recognizes when installed version of plugin is older than the one in the actual list and if so there appears a button "update" beneath "uninstall".... So you can update plugins via webinterface too. I don't have tested if uninstall and then again install works too but you have to activate new installed plugins and maybe you run into problems if activated plugin is uninstalled...

Great plugin already!


I have made a "quick-and-dirty-hack" to solve this....

I dont have spend time in function that compares version of installed plugin and available like the standard plugin module does.

I just have added a new button to every installed plugin. Now not only "Uninstall" is available, but a second button "Reinstall". If you click this button the plugin is installed once again and if there is a new version available you have "updated" the plugin! The only thing is you must have had a look in the standard-plugin-list and remember if there are updates available. Then you can switch to the installer, search for the recommended plugins and click "Reinstall" - thats all!


What to do in source code??

Insert behind  the line:
                      

Code:

<a class="cancel" href="<?php echo $SITEURL . "admin/load.php?id=gs_plugin_installer" ?>&uninstall=<?php echo $plugin->id ?>">Uninstall</a>

the following line:

Code:

<br><a class="cancel" href="<?php echo $SITEURL . "admin/load.php?id=gs_plugin_installer" ?>&install=<?php echo $plugin->id ?>">Reinstall</a>

OK - what 2do:
- write a function that compares versions of installed plugins and available plugins and show plugins where updates are available always on top of the list....

I am not sure plugin is maintained actually so I don't know if the author realizes this or the community...

BTW:
In source i found a table heading "updated" - but this is never shown in my screens. Is it a bug or is its reason the theme I am using??
