[Github-comments] [geany/geany] [Plugin manager] Small improvement? (#2142)

Ok, to expand, geany-plugins is only a collection for installation convenience, its not an actual plugin, so there is no information about it available to Geany.  And many distros provide plugins as individual packages which can be installed individually and "geany-plugins" is nothing more than a meta package that references the others, it doesn't install anything outside the package database.

Also plugins do not just come from geany-plugins, there are "third party" plugins listed on [Geany's website](https://plugins.geany.org/) and others in places like Sourceforge and Github.  

So the only version that makes sense is the version of the individual plugin as is currently shown.
