I installed the previewgenerator app and tried to run the recommand command: occ preview:generate-all but it didn't work.
Turned out I had disabled (or sthg else) the app https://github.com/NixOS/nixpkgs/issues/245691.
I found about it by running occ list.

Describe the solution you'd like
I wish the occ command could have told me that the command was available but not usable because the plugin was disabled ?

Describe alternatives you've considered
alternatively it could have suggested to run occ list

Research direction

Reproduce the situation with occ preview:generate-all while the previewgenerator app is disabled, then compare its output with occ list. Trace the command-discovery and disabled-app handling entry points; done means users are told why the command is unavailable or are directed to occ list.
