Description
Hi @Jermolene,
after FF Quantum now prevents TiddlyFox from working, I gave TiddlyDesktop a try and discovered that installing plugins per dragndrop doesn't work for some plugins – at least when running nw on linux ubuntu 64bit and dragging the plugins from FF.
For example opening the katex plugin (https://tiddlywiki.com/plugins/tiddlywiki/katex/) site and dragging it in a TiddlyWiki running in TiddlyDesktop will yield undefined in the $:/Import tiddler. Same for e.g. the d3 plugin(https://tiddlywiki.com/plugins/tiddlywiki/d3/) and sadly also TiddlyMap and Visjs.
On the other hand, e.g. importing the highlight plugin or the markdown plugin works works.
Any ideas?
Best wishes
Felix

Research direction
Reproduce the drag-and-drop import in TiddlyDesktop with nw on 64-bit Ubuntu, using the KaTeX, d3, TiddlyMap, and Visjs plugin pages, and compare it with the working highlight or markdown imports. Inspect the path that populates the $:/Import tiddler and determine why these plugins produce undefined; done means the affected plugins import successfully.
