Installing the plugin results in the homepage content being replaced by "Sorry, your search returned no hits." here (GS 3.1 b). This is due to the fact that in the plugin settings, the index page is being pre-selected. roog's News Manager does this similarly with the blog page which, in my opinion, is undesirable.
Users might be confused if they just uploaded a batch of plugins and suddenly their homepage content "is gone". In my opinion it would be better to not have it pre-selected to anything. Installing a plugin should not make content "disappear" without any user action. Even if the docs say so.
2. Browse To Pages->Items Manager->Settings Page (See Screenshot Below)
2a. Choose Title Of Items Manager, Page To Display Results On, & Choose The Page You Would Like The Individual Items To Be Displayed On
Additionally, would you please consider putting your plugin folders (items, uploader) within a containing folder so that the main plugins folder isn't populated with folders without immediate context.
Maybe something like
items manager
|_items
|_ upload
Having a closer look at the plugin features now, thanks for making this plugin available!
