[SOLVED] Can't reference variables in item descriptions?

Awesome plugin! Quick question - I'm trying to reference variables in an item description, but it doesn't work with this plugin. Any chance of adding back in this functionality?

Also, it would be super helpful if the item categories window only displayed the database-enabled categories. So, if Items and Key Items are shown, but not Weapons or Armor, then the Items and Key Items boxes would span the whole width of the category window, rather than having empty space on the right. Hopefully that makes sense lol. But again, great plugin!

Hello!

If by default, RPG Maker doesn't support showing variables in an item description, then this plugin likely won't be able to do so, as this plugin only modify the layout. If you use a plugin from another developer to display variables, then it's out of what my plugin can support. 

For second issue, I'll adjust that. You should see that in the next update.

Rpg Maker MZ does support variables in item descriptions, so something is happening in this plugin that's disabling that functionality. I tested it in a new project with no other plugins except this one. 

It would also be awesome to have the option to not display any image in the item description window. I want to have just the item name and its description displayed, with no image. I tried using a blank custom image but the space for an image is still built into the window. Any chance of this in the future? Thanks!
