And maybe it is time we think about dropping Tk support for plugins given we now fully support PySide6 which is much more reliable and stable, and much better documented than the Tk library.

We could probably individually help what few remaining plugin devs move away from tk to Qt. I know I still use Tk in FolderIn/FolderOut and maybe a few other plugins but it would be trivial to replace as I never liked coding in Tk.

Thoughts?
