Install all plugin updates and restart

killo3967 · 05-12-2025, 03:58 AM

Would it be possible to add a button that installs all plugin updates and then restarts Calibre?

I don't open the Calibre application on a daily basis so when I open it there are always at least 2 or 3 plugin updates, if not up to 10. It would be great if there was a blur in the plugin updates window that would allow you to update all plugins at once and then restart Calibre automatically.

I think this could also be done at the general configuration level with a checkbox so that when Calibre starts it allows to update the plugins and then restarts. As it stays in the log the user would always be informed of the latest updates or could be prompted at startup. Maybe two checkboxes, one "Update and restart without prompting" and one "Update and restart with confirmation" or something like that.

Hey, did you know that "Installing plugins is a security risk"?

Yes, yes I did. Because I have to dismiss that warning on every individual plugin update. Sheesh.

Maybe there's a hidden flag to disable that warning?

Lawyers

is why it (or Injury warning) is present in almost every product.

As for PI, You do not need to restart between Adds. Just do them all as needed, and then click the restart at the last updated PI.
