I use obsidian on multiple devices: Android mobile, Windows desktop and Linux desktop. Sometimes, I want to install a plug-in to use later on a different device. They both share the same plug-in folder anyways. The “this plugin does not support your device” message appears when I attempt to do so.
Proposed solution
Show “this plugin does not support your device” as a warning and provide an “install anyways” button.
Current workaround (optional)
I create a note with the URL to install it when I’m on desktop again.
That message shows up if the developer has set isDesktopOnly to true.
Loading such a plugin on mobile will result in an error, or might even stop Obsidian from loading up, depending on the plugin code.
I am guessing you mean you want to have the ability to install these plugins, but not enable them right?
Yes, I want to have the plugin installed but disabled. This behavior exists the other way around – if you install pane relief on desktop, for example, it is disabled by default in the same vault on mobile.
