local version differs from local version of updated plugin (was: local version number lost, after update plugin list.)

Hi,

it seems to have something to do with #4443, but at least this point is a bug.

I have, for example, validator installed. It has a local version number shown in the preference window, but after updating the list, all these local version numbers are lost. The user does not get any information if his/her plugins are up-to-date or not -> redownloading them.

This can be irritating so I flag it as blocker.

(In [3076]) see #4565 - local version number lost, after update plugin list.

I fixed it, but there is still an issue:

There are three relevant versions when doing an plugin update in the preference window:

(a) version on server
(b) local version of the running plugin
(c) local version of the downloaded plugin

((a) and (c) happen to be equal under normal circumstances.)

When you do a plugin update, it displays (c) as local version in the list. When downloading the plugin list again, it switches back to (b). I don't know if this is the desired behavior.

At least in the status report we should show (b) and not (c).

(In [3090]) fixed #4443: Plugins with known update site: Don't download unless a new version is available
fixed #4565: local version differs from local version of updated plugin (was: local version number lost, after update plugin list.)
