I believe this to be a bug with Avogadro / my setup :slight_smile: Environment Information Avogadro version: 1.99.0 nightly Operating system and version: OpenSuSE 15.6 Actual Behavior If I go to Extensions → Download Plugins, I get an error of “Error downloading plugin data” and the resulting win…

Python won’t influence whether it can access the plugin list. (It’s just used to run the scripts afterwards.) If you use other network features (e.g., download by name or fetch from PDB) do they work? When you say “nightly” do you mean the Flatpak or the AppImage?

At some point, I’ll put together the code to accept drag-and-drop of a .tar.gz or .zip file but that’s further down the priority list.

[image] matterhorn103: I’d definitely be keen to hear from other Linux users as to whether it works for them and which distro and DE they are running. I also experience the same bug on Fedora. Doesn’t rule out that there’s been some fix to some library that caused this, but at least doesn’t s…
