Description

When a plugin is disabled, Hyper deletes it.
Personally I find this frustrating anyway, since it means I can't temporarily disable a plugin without it being deleted, but for local plugins it is doubly frustrating because it means development cannot take place in the plugin directory.

It would be nice if local plugins were not deleted when they are disabled.


Hyper 1.0.0
Electron 1.4.7
darwin x64 15.6.0

Research direction

No file or test is named. Start by tracing how Hyper handles disabling plugins, then identify the path used for local plugins. Done means disabling a local plugin leaves its files in the plugin directory while the plugin remains disabled.
