Additional context
If i try to obtain the list of plu-ins (https://github.com/EDCD/EDMC-Plugin-Registry/tree/main/plugins) they are all in a zip file which I extract to my plug-ins folder (confirmed using the EDMC Browse folder, but also i did the same with the default file location)... What happens is that all of the JSON files are sitting inside the plugins folder, but none of then are selectable within the EDMC tool.

Instead, if i singly select one of the plug-ins from the non-maintained list (https://github.com/EDCD/EDMarketConnector/wiki/Plugins), such as the SPANSH route plotter, i download this and store it in the plug-ins location for EDMC, then it can be seen and used.

Please Confirm the Following...

• [x ] I have already tried contacting the authors of this plugin regarding my issue.
• [x ] The plugin is not working with my version of EDMC, or does not conform to the standards for listing.

The plugin registry is just a list of plugins not the plugins themselves and this repository is used to maintain that list.

If in EDMC you go to File -> Settings -> Plugin Browser you'll see the list of plugins. Each one has a link (Main Project Link) to download it. At the present time installation is not automatic and the process may vary from plugin to plugin.

Hope this helps.
