Inform user when plugin initialization fails (catch `ModuleNotFoundError`)

Open bittner opened this issue 1 year ago • 0 comments

When the plugin is activated and required libraries are not installed the initialization of the plugin fails.

Currently, this is being reported on the Preferences dialog > Plugins tab with an error icon, but no other details are supplied. The user remains hence uninformed about what they can do to remediate the situation.

Expected Behavior

  1. The user should be informed (on the user interface) about the error reason,
  2. and should get hints about what they can do to get the plugin working.
