Issue: PicGo Extension Not Activating in Cursor 0.44.11

Description:
The PicGo extension is failing to properly activate in Cursor 0.44.11. While the extension appears to be installed and shows up in the running extensions list, it remains stuck in the “activating” state. This results in the error “command ‘picgo.uploadImageFromClipboard’ not found” when trying to use PicGo’s image upload functionality.

Environment:

  • Cursor Version: 0.44.11
  • VSCode Version: 1.93.1
  • Electron: 30.5.1
  • OS: macOS ARM64 (Apple Silicon)
  • Commit: fe574d0820377383143b2ea26aa6ae28b3425220

Steps to Reproduce:

  1. Install PicGo extension in Cursor
  2. Try to use the image upload command (picgo.uploadImageFromClipboard)
  3. Extension shows as “activating” but never completes activation

Expected Behavior:

  • PicGo extension should fully activate
  • Image upload command should work as it does in VS Code

Actual Behavior:

  • Extension remains in “activating” state
  • Command ‘picgo.uploadImageFromClipboard’ is not found
  • Extension functionality is unavailable

Note: The same extension works perfectly in VS Code, suggesting this might be related to Cursor’s extension system or the recent Electron upgrade to 30.5.1.

Can you upload a picture?

Developer: show running extensions, you will find it shows as “activating” but never completes activation

I mentioned earlier that everything is working, and images are uploading for me.

I tried another extension: markdown-image-uploader.

command ‘markdown-image-uploader.uploadImages’ not found

Hey, it seems there’s a conflict with the Markdown Image Uploader extension. Try removing it.

lastly, I have solved it by installing another similar extension, conocer-picgo…, so exhausted by this stupid bug…

I encountered the same issue, when picgo extension installed directly from the extension store, remained in the “activating” state. However, this happened in VSCode Insider, not Cursor. To resolve this, I pulled the source code, packaged it into a VSIX file, and installed it using “Extensions: Install from VSIX…”.

This approach also solves the problem of PicGo not being found in the someother Editor’s plugin marketplace.

You can download the VSIX file here: vs-picgo/vs-picgo-2.1.6.vsix at dev · kamusis/vs-picgo · GitHub.

Hope this helps!
