We have now implemented a plugin management for PT Run into the settings ux. (PR #9872; Issue #5273)

📝 Provide a description of the new feature

If we have many plugins it would be interesting to move the plugin list to an own settings page.

The users could get access to it by a link on PT Run's settings page

or by a sub navigation item in the navigation pane (example image form "XAML Controls Gallery" app).

This is a remaining enhancement idea form issue #5273.

If neccesary, the sub-menu (as you show) would be a good idea. Or a Pivot on the Run page.

How should pivot look?

Have one "pivot page" for general (Run) settings, and one page for the plug-ins.

Do you mean tabs? Excuse me I can't imagine how "pivot page" should look at the moment.

I personally do not like this layout.

Closing this as I don't see any benefit with our current ui.
