Allow checking for updated plugins again even if there are updates pending

[dsent]

Use case or problem

When I check for updates, sometimes I don’t want to update all my plugins. But if there’s an update found, “Check for updates” button is hidden until I install all the updates.

Proposed solution

Don’t replace “Check for updates” button with “Update all”. Just show both of these, so I can check for other updates even if I decide to keep some of my plugins outdated.

Current workaround (optional)

None.

Ability to disable update checks for third-party plugins that the user has manually turned off

Additionally, it would be fantastic if it were possible to disable update checks for third-party plugins that the user has turned off. Most likely, these plugins are not currently needed, so their updates are not of interest. Currently, after each “Check for Plugin Updates”, it’s necessary to manually update the enabled plugins because the “Update All” button updates even the disabled plugins, and this leads to excessive traffic consumption for unnecessary things.

As a workaround you can open the developer console (Ctrl+Shift+I) and paste:

app.plugins.checkForUpdates()

By doing that you can check for updates even if the button is not available.
