Having 50+ plugins in your Plugin Management page doesn’t make things fast when you want to find a particular plugin to de/activate or edit it, or when you want to quickly find the ones that are outdated and need an update.
Enhancements
Better Plugin Page brings simple yet valuable enhancement to your Plugins page:
Tiny icons (from famfamfam of course) to emphasize plugin status and quick action links. Less clutter, more information.
Quick filters to find more easily the plugin you’re looking for. Want to deactivate one? Start by hiding all the active plugins. Want to update them? Hide those that are up to date (simple filtering system, you’ll get unexpected results if you try to combine filters)
Sliding mini list of all your plugins if scrolling all the way down is too tiring for your abused finger.

Great plugin!
I had like an even more condensed view and better integration to the wordpress style.
- Display the version number in red and underlined when an update is available. click on the version number launch the update function. Thus suppress the update action in status column.
- version column could display “download” because it is related to and rarely appears. It reinforces version alert too. Thus no need to alert icon.
- replace “active” with “on” less characters is better.
- suppress “inactive” because color switch an lack of “active” information is enough. Replace using “off | activate”. Because length and characters are different, the contrast is reinforced.
- Edit is then alone…
Regards
I dislike the icons. The background brings no sense, thus is the same for all icons, thus minimize the information.
Active : green circle
Inactive : red circle
Available update : orange circle
Activate : ???
Download : arrows (down) you download
Update : arrows (up) you increase number
Edit ; a pen
Regards

Great Plugin, but I’m missing the function to activate ALL Plugins at once.
Or to choose which Plugins should be activated oder deactivated.

I have installed your better plugin page into my WordPress 2.5 using Firefox 2.0.0.14.
It is a great idea; I like the colours and the icons. One problem: the toggle buttons do not toggle correctly in combination: try clicking “hide up to date”, then “show active”. The result is a list of some active and some up to date. The filters on these buttons need some logical sequence work, it ‘ppears to me.

Ozh, Great plugin. Thanks. However, after letting WordPress upgrade it to 1.0.1, all the icons vanished. Any ideas?

I love the facelift this plugin provides, but would like one additional feature I miss from the vanilla interface. I’d like to be able to see what the new version number is of an upgradeable plugin.
Often, if a plugin has been bumped by 0.0.0.1 I will upgrade it blind. But if it goes from 1.5.3 to 2.0.0 I’d like to check the plugin page before upgrading, to make sure the (supposedly major) changes won’t kill my blog.
Maybe as a tooltip on the upgrade icon? Though it would be better as a visible element. Thanks for considering it.
