Description Jiri Rechtacek 2007-04-15 12:12:53 UTC 
Table of _installed_ plugins in Plugin Manager should support sorting by cluster
where are installed. It helps to distinguish between plugin placed in userdir or
IDE installation dir.
Comment 1 Jiri Rechtacek 2008-10-16 17:35:41 UTC 
It's not in our plans for a long time. IMHO I should close as WONTFIX.
Comment 2 Jesse Glick 2008-10-17 23:06:28 UTC 
Module Manager let you do this BTW.

On a related note, I would really like to be able to specify for a given wizard run whether modules should be placed in
the installation directory or user directory. Currently NBMs with a defined cluster are unconditionally placed in the
installation directory, which is a pain if you keep a single userdir but routinely replace your installation with a new
dev build.

Yes, it does. But MM doesn't hide module. In theory, modules shaping a visible plugin can come from more then one
cluster. We could just show cluster belonging to visible plugin but I'm afraid it might be confusing in some cases.

Well. It's meaningful use-case. It's currently tracked as issue 118234.
