ABC Import (plugin) not working since updating MuseScore
I just updated to 4.3.1 and find my ABC Import plugin doesn't work.
Here is the process i've been using hereto:
-I acquire an ABC file from https://thesession.org/ - it comes down as a ".abc" file.
-I open this file using Notepad (Win11 pc).
-Select All & Copy.
-Open MuseScore
-Start a New Score (just General- treble clef)
-Go to Plugins then ABC Import
-This opens a window where you can Paste your ABC tune, or use an Open file button (I choose to paste).
-Then click Import.
-This creates an XML file
But when MuseScore tries to open the xml file it give error that its not a valid MusicXML file.
I can see that it's not going to work because the XML file is just 1kb.
When i open the XML file in Notepad it shows there was an internal server error.
<head> <title>500 Internal Server Error</title> </head><body> <h1>Internal Server Error</h1> <p>The server encountered an internal error or misconfiguration and was unable to complete your request.</p> <p>Please contact the server administrator at webmaster@musescore.jeetee.net to inform them of the time this error occurred, and the actions you performed just before this error.</p> <p>More information about this error may be available in the server error log.</p> </body>

It is only a problem with the latest release?

It is an issue with MuseScore 4.x, all of them. Works with 3.x

Additionally, I must have had this working under a version 4 because the v 3.6 interface looks different to me

Nope, it never worked with 4.x, as that is lacking the file I/O API for plugins
I haven't tried it myself, so don't know what it's worth, but maybe you can try https://wim.vree.org/svgParse/abc2xml.html
