Description
I've been making a plugin that acts much like Comments except it won't have any options. It might help the UI to not bother showing an Options button (instead of creating the button and simply disabling it).
Edit: Around line 68 of src/dialogs/PluginsPanel.cpp, I decided to change setEnabled to setVisible. If there are no options, I don't think a button should be displayed suggesting otherwise. Makes for a cleaner and tighter UI in some cases, too.
Edit: On a side note, is it possible to grab mName and mEmail for the repo from the lua backend?

Research direction
Start in src/dialogs/PluginsPanel.cpp around line 68, where the Options button is enabled or disabled. Ensure the button is not displayed for plugins without options while remaining available for plugins that have them, then verify the Plugins panel UI in both cases.
