BUG: Empty Plugin Settings

[Gh0stExp10it]

Checks

• I have checked that this issue has not already been reported.

• I am using the latest version of Flow Launcher.

Problem Description

Especially for plugins written in Python, I have noticed that the settings made by the user are successfully applied in the UI, but always remain “empty” after closing and restarting the application (Flow Launcher). This applies in particular to fields of type “input” and “dropdown”. Settings of the type “checkbox” are not affected. I could not test other types. The fields are empty in the UI, but Flow Launcher has correctly saved the settings in the JSON file (see screenshot for empty UI and JSON example for filled settings).

The plugin Ollama, which was written by me, is mentioned as an example. The Python library used is “pyflowlauncher”.
Further examples are the Currency Converter or HA Commander plugins.

JSON settings example (filled):
{
"preserve_newline": true,
"pull_model": true,
"ollama_model": "llama3.2:1b",
"ollama_host": "http://localhost:11434",
"save_response": false,
"response_preview_length": "750",
"prompt_stop": "||",
"log_level": "ERROR"
}

To Reproduce

1. Open Flow Launcher and change Plugin Settings
2. Close and exit Flow Launcher
3. Start Flow Launcher
4. Check the plugin settings and see that the changed value is empty

Additionally: At least I haven't found any documentation on how to get the UI to read the plugin settings correctly. Maybe a Flow Launcher Dev can clarify this.

In addition to the stale Bug #2577.

It's the exact same issue with a plugin called 'Timezone Conversion'. A few weeks ago, I reported this to the dev of the plugin 'here: Jwiggiff/Flow-Launcher-Timezone-Conversion-Plugin#9

He replied that this is not a plugin issue, but a Flow Launcher bug - which seems to be correct.
