In IDE 1, I had installed 2 plugin in the tools directory of arduino : ESP32FS and ESP8266FS.
in IDE 2 beta 4, I tried to install the same plugin, but arduino don't display more options in the tools menu.
I attached a picture with the 2 IDE hard copy.
is there a solution in IDE 2 ? I don't find it.
Best regards

Hi @paloy57 . Unfortunately, there is not currently any way to use tools like these with Arduino IDE 2.x. This is a known issue being tracked here:
opened 11:42PM - 12 Feb 21 UTC
topic: code
type: imperfection
criticality: high
**Describe the solution you'd like**
I would like to propose support for extern… al tools / plugins which are compatible with Arduino IDE. Ex. https://github.com/me-no-dev/arduino-esp32fs-plugin or https://github.com/me-no-dev/EspExceptionDecoder
If it is already supported, how can I use tools in Pro IDE?
If it is not supported yet, are there any plans for implementing that?
### Describe the problem
There is no support for extending the capabilities of Arduino IDE via external tools/plugins. This is a feature parity mismatch with Arduino IDE 1.x.
### To reproduce
1. Follow the instructions to install the "Arduino Pico LittleFS Filesystem Uploader" plugin:
https://github.com/earlephilhower/arduino-pico-littlefs-plugin#installation
1. Start Arduino IDE 2.x
1. Open the **Tools** menu.
🐛 The expected "**Pico LittleFS Data Upload**" menu item is missing.
### Expected behavior
Support for extending the capabilities of Arduino IDE via external tools/plugins equivalent to the system provided by Arduino IDE 1.x.
### Arduino IDE version
#### Original report
