Hi<div dir="auto"> I asked this a few days ago and I am wondering if perhaps no-one else has come across this problem.</div><div dir="auto">"I have installed the above version but it only
shows 4 plug-ins. Whether I click on ALL or INSTALLED it still only
shows 4. If I go back to 3.18 it works fine. Can anybody suggest a
possible solution?"</div><div dir="auto">
I uninstalled all versions on my PC and reinstalled 3.20 but still have
the same problem. I then uninstalled 3.20 and reinstalled 3.18 and the
plugins work fine.
</div><div>Is there maybe a way to contact the developers to see if I can find a cause of my problem?<br></div><div dir="auto"><br></div><div dir="auto">Thanks,</div><div dir="auto"><br></div><div dir="auto">Pat</div>
