The Plugin Manager is available from the menu {{man menu|Help ->Plugin Manager}}. Many of the features of the Plugin Manager are intended for developers, and the dialogues described below are those seen by developers. The features for normal users are noted below where they are different.
The Plugin Manager allows you to control how Gramps manages plugins.
{{man notetip|You may also replace the builtin plugin manager built-in Plugin Manager with |the experimental third party ''[[Plugin Manager Plugin|Plugin Manager Enhanced]]'' Addonthat provides a single unified view that combines the Registered and Loaded views with all the available 3rd party plugins }}
== Plugin types ==
#importers: import formats from which Gramps can import data via menu {{man menu|Family Trees ->Import...}}
#map service: targets that can be used on the place view to go to an internet map service (''Go'' toolbar button)
#quickreport: know as ''Quick Views'' they are small reports that are available in the context menu on the listviews, or via the Quickreport Quick View gramplet
#reports: Textual or graphical reports Gramps can produce
#tools: Tools you can start via the menu {{man menu|Tools}}
The following types of '''System Plugins''' are present in Gramps:
#database: Backends that allow Gramps to support [[Gramps_5.1_Wiki_Manual_-_Settings#Family_Tree|alternate database types]].
#plugin libs: libraries that are present giving extra functionality.
#relationships: relationship calculators for different languages
#Rule (Introduced Gramps 5.1.x and greater)
There are many plugins that come with Gramps. However, anyone can also write a plugin and share it. These third-party plugins are called "addons". We highly encourage users and developers to share their creations with other Gramps users.
There are two tabs for the {{man label|Plugin Manager}}:
* '''{{man label|[[Gramps_5.1_Wiki_Manual_-_Plugin_Manager#Registered_Plugins|Registered Plugins''' ]]}} and* '''{{man label|[[Gramps_5.1_Wiki_Manual_-_Plugin_Manager#Loaded Plugins'''|Loaded Plugins]]}}
=== Registered Plugins ===
[[File:PluginManager-RegisteredPlugins-50.png|right|thumb|450px|Fig. {{#var:chapter}}.{{#vardefineecho:figure|{{#expr:{{#var:figure}}+1}}}} Registered plugins]]
Here you see a list of all plugins that Gramps has found. These are the plugins which are part of Gramps, as well as the plugins found in the <code>gramps50gramps51/plugins</code> directory within the [[Gramps_5.1_Wiki_Manual_-_User_Directory|Gramps User Directory]]. The type of plugin is shown in the first column.
You can show or hide a plugin by selecting a row and pressing the {{man button|Hide/Unhide}} button. This is only useful for the User Plugins.
