To uninstall plugins from a source project when they have been added accidentally, normally just load this project file to a source version which does not install the plugins ( not included in plugin manager ) and then save the project. By doing this, source will try to remove the plugins. But for certain plugins, the following steps are needed to be able to uninstall it from a source project:
- Go to Tools>>Remove Plugin from project file.
- Add the project and then select the plugin from the lower window under "Select plugins to be removed from the project file', see figure 3.
- Click "Save" to save the project.
- If you haven't already removed the plugin from source plugin manager, go to Tools >> Plugin Manager >> uninstall "the plugin", click OK and restart Source when prompted. Now you should be able to load the project file to source without the plugin loaded.
This is not required for all plugins, but only for those where generic settings are stored in the project and remain in the project even if not the usage has been removed e.g. a node plugin needs a tool to remove it because generic settings about the nodes are stored even when they are not used in a project. However, e.g. for rainfall-runoff plugins, it is only necessary to remove the usage of it, there is no generic information stored about the rainfall-runoff models. Once the rainfall-runoff model no longer has a usage the model can be loaded without the plugin loaded.
If no plugins appear in Figure 3, then there are no plugins which store generic settings.
This is currently only required for plugins:
