We generally discourage plugins where users need to do external actions outside of Flow to get it working (you will also find a lot of support tickets because people don't always follow READMEs). Can you add the db_init function as a keyword command with help text to guide the user if they don't do that and try and use your plugin?

[BossFlap]

Thank you for the feedback, really appreciate it! 🙏

Fixed in BossFlap/flow-command-vault@c19b809 — Added cv :init as a keyword command that initializes the database directly from Flow Launcher. Users who haven't run the setup will now see a guided message pointing them to :init instead of hitting an error or having to follow the README manually.

The README has also been updated to reflect the new setup step.

Feel free to share any further suggestions or improvements — always happy to make the plugin better!

Please do not directly change the plugin.json file and instead you should add a json file for your plugin. Check the https://github.com/Flow-Launcher/Flow.Launcher.PluginsManifest/blob/main/README.md please.

Hi @Jack251970, thank you for the feedback!

Fixed — reverted all changes to plugins.json and added the plugin as a separate file under plugins/Command Vault-19132E4B-9100-4E97-BDD2-92415B78D23D.json as requested. The PR now only contains that single new file.

Let me know if there is anything else to adjust!

Please check the README.md and remove unnecessary fields like:

"DateAdded": "2026-02-18T20:10:37Z",
"LatestReleaseDate": "2026-02-18T20:37:09Z"

Hi @Jack251970, fixed — removed DateAdded and LatestReleaseDate from the plugin JSON. The file now only contains the required fields as per the README.

Hi @Jack251970, fixed in v1.1.2 — the root cause was that the plugin relied on flowlauncher being pip-installed, which doesn't work with Flow Launcher's embedded Python environment.

The fix: dependencies are now installed into a lib/ folder during the release build and bundled inside the ZIP. main.py adds lib/ to sys.path at startup, so no manual pip install step is needed.

Manifest updated to v1.1.2: https://github.com/BossFlap/flow-command-vault/releases/tag/v1.1.2

LGTM! Thanks for your contribution!
