Plugin install problem Menu_With_Image

Had version 1.0 installed on my self hosted server. working fine... Then attempted to update to version 2 of the plugin. Just failed no message from the Manage Plugins screen on my self hosted server. Then tried again it said it worked... But, it did not since none of the updates showed. Like the ability to add an image on a line item in the list. Deleted Plugin and inalled fresh copy. Now it does not show up at all in the control panel but is present when I look via FTP in the plugin Directory. Any ideas?

There really are some problems, had the same here. Not the way it should be, but I could solve this with installing the old version and then manuylly overwriting the files via FTP. Still says I have version 1.0 but it is actually the new version. Additional to that there is a code problem in eclipse. A .row2 part had to be renamed to .row to solve that issue.

Sorry for the late response on this! Trying to get caught up after David Book's visit to Minnesota. (By the way, his visit was awesome--the most fun I have had in years and very inspiring. We have the best leader in the world!) I am working on the bugs and will document everything on the discussions page for the plugins. Anyway, I didn't know about the install problem, and I wonder if it is due to using the right zip name? Each time you download, buzztouch adds an increment of 1 to the end of the file. eg.-1, -2. If you upload the zip version of the plugin with this new name, it will create a new set of files on your server. Before I realized this I kept installing additional versions on my server while trying to test the process. What I have been doing is changing the zip file name by removing the -1, -2 extension. Then it uploads and overwrites the existing files. Do you think this explains what could be the problem described in installation? If not, then I have a new problem. Thank you!
