  2. Find problem is PowerToys core can not find dll by plugins needed, but the Microsoft.PowerToys.Settings.UI.Lib and ManagedCommon are core's lib by PowerToys Run, just because developers changed their namespace.
  3. Simply fix: First, download plugins source.
  4. Copy the libraries needed by the plugin from PowerToys install directory C:\Program Files\PowerToys\modules\launcher.

       <HintPath>.lib/PowerToys.Common.UI.dll</HintPath>
     </Reference>
     <Reference Include="PowerToys.Interop">
       <HintPath>.lib/PowerToys.Interop.dll</HintPath>

     </Reference>
   </ItemGroup>
    • WebSearch:
      • PropertyGroup -> TargetFramework -> change to netcoreapp6.0-windows because UseWindowsForms is true
      • Change ItemGroup tag with linked other parent project to these:
        <ItemGroup>
     <Reference Include="PowerToys.Common.UI">
       <HintPath>.lib/PowerToys.Common.UI.dll</HintPath>
     </Reference>
     <Reference Include="PowerToys.ManagedCommon">
       <HintPath>.lib/PowerToys.ManagedCommon.dll</HintPath>
     </Reference>
     <Reference Include="System.IO.Abstractions">
       <HintPath>.lib/System.IO.Abstractions.dll</HintPath>
     </Reference>
     <Reference Include="Wox.Infrastructure">
       <HintPath>.lib/Wox.Infrastructure.dll</HintPath>
     </Reference>
     <Reference Include="Wox.Plugin">

     </Reference>
   </ItemGroup>
      • Copy https://github.com/microsoft/PowerToys/tree/main/src/codeAnalysis in project source and remove ItemGroup tag with these Included files:
      <ItemGroup>
   <Compile Include="..\..\..\..\codeAnalysis\GlobalSuppressions.cs">
     <Link>GlobalSuppressions.cs</Link>
   </Compile>
   <AdditionalFiles Include="..\..\..\..\codeAnalysis\StyleCop.json">
     <Link>StyleCop.json</Link>
   </AdditionalFiles>
 </ItemGroup>
  6. Use dotnet sdk run dotnet clean and dotnet build to build dll and files.
  7. Copy bin/Debug/ files to PowerToys Run plugin directory to replace old plugin files. All done.

中文

  1. 根据%appdata%\..\Local\Microsoft\PowerToys\PowerToys Run\Logs\0.57.2.0\处的日志文件可以获得报错详情，本次处理的问题是由于开发者更换了核心库的命名空间导致的。
  2. 下载两个插件的源码
  3. 从PowerToys安装目录C:\Program Files\PowerToys\modules\launcher拷贝以下dll到源码目录中（建立一个文件夹用来放第三方库如lib）.
