Haruno Knowledge base

Plugins

Built but switched off for every customer. A developer preview that would let other software add its own tab to Haruno's sidebar.

  • Mac appIn developmentA developer preview, switched off for every customer. The Portfolio is built into the Mac app, not an add-on.
  • Windows appAvailableAdd-ons are made and signed by Haruno, and install and update on their own. The Portfolio add-on is always on.
In development in the Mac app. It is not available to customers yet. Do not promise it.

Plugins are built but switched off for every customer, so they must not be promised.

What it is meant to do

Plugins are a developer preview. A plugin would add its own tab to the sidebar and draw its own screen inside Haruno. It could read files in the working folder that Haruno hands to it, and it could put text in the message box. It could not send a message.

A Plugins page in Settings would list the installed plugins, each with a switch. Each enabled plugin adds its own tab to the sidebar. A plugin that still needs your approval would say so. You would approve it in System Settings, under Login Items & Extensions.

The only plugin in the code is a small sample for developers. Nothing is offered to customers or to outside developers.

What a customer sees today

Nothing. There is no Plugins page in Settings and no plugin tab in the sidebar.
