Plugins not updating after downloading / restarting

[andy_d]

for some reason, plugins that have an update to be applied are not updating. Not sure what to do here - I tried a few times and always end up with the same result -> prompt to update.

Several have commented about this. Though suggested to them, I don't think any of them have created a Bug Report to 'officially' make the developers aware.  (Top of this page under Help & Support)

Some indicated that if they update/restart enough times, eventually it takes.  Others stated that if they exit LB, delete the affected plugin subfolder then restart, the update process will work.

Ah my search lead me to a post where the user didn't follow so I wasn't sure what to do.

So I tried deleting every plugin folder -> as the app reopens, all the folders show up again and I still get a notification about plugin updates

In case it's a factor - I do have Launchbox on an external ssd. I haven't touched the app in a long time but it was working without issue for a while.

Ok it's because Launchbox is setting the plugin folders as readonly when it opens. 

1. Open Launchbox

2. Uncheck readonly on each plugin folder

3. Update

When it restarts, it sets the folders again to readonly but the plugins did update. I'm assuming I'll have to keep doing this till there is an actual fix
