Disabled plugins will be visible in plugin setup only, and not on any other plugin list.

Upload and GPS shortcut buttons will start the first enabled plugin. If you have more dive computer plugins (or GPS plugins) you can eighter rearrange the plugins or enable only the actual needed plugin.

Another issue to disable a plugin is if you have upgraded to a new Aqua DiveLog version which is not yet supported by the plugin. If you delete a plugin some of the related data will be deleted too.
