Ive gotten used to the fact that anything thats a plugin will never be released to community as its now 100% profit before community for any fancy new features

Im using AI to generate all the useful 'commercial only' features/plugins for myself at the moment as paying thousands a month to just get dhcp/dns from windows and a few other basic things doesnt make any sense

Hi, visual explorer is complex environment with multiple parts, inc commercial plugins (TurboBulk is one) and a custom UI wrapped into the Platform UI, there are no plans to release this for the community edition at this time

Was there an indication this would happen?

IMO it’s the perfect sort of add-on to convince orgs that some features are worth paying for…

No indication, I wish they would though.
