This means that if we use it, and we want to open all plugins, but some of them are already shown, they will get hidden. Instead I’ve used the mEdit hostValue. Below is the code, I’…

Our friend @Martin.Jirsak didn’t have much luck with it, while in my setup it works as expected. Perhaps an os weirdness which I have to look at.
