I'll see what I can do. For now a solution would be to just offer the latest stable version of the script.
Comment 2 Natalie Clarius 2022-05-09 00:42:46 UTC 
I did that the first view times (archiving or overwriting old versions) and it reset the download counter to zero, making it look like the plugin has never been downloaded before and can not be trusted, so I'd like to avoid that.
