Hollywood forums

Since hollywood 11, plugins need to be in user profile
but older version have it in hollywood drawer
this lead to sometimes confusion if you have forgot an old plugin

An idea "stolen" from Firefox, is that in "about" can have a link to direct open uperprofile-plugins folder.
helps every time you want to update a plugin

also i notice that even if have your user profile plugin folder empty but hollywood plugin folder with plugins, hollywood still works, at least wiht IDE (F5)
this is comfusing, it is expected or forgote ?

Yes, I have also been thinking about something like this because it's really difficult to navigate to this folder on your own. So I think I'll add such a feature for the next version.

No, this is expected behaviour. As explained in the docs:

Windows: C:\Users\...\AppData\Local\AirsoftSoftwair\Hollywood\Plugins is the directory that should be used for storing plugins. If it doesn't exist, just create it. Alternatively, you can also store plugins in the Plugins directory in Hollywood's installation directory, e.g. in C:\Program Files\Hollywood\Plugins but this isn't recommended because it requires you to modify the Hollywood distribution and it might also require administrator privileges to write to Hollywood's installation directory.
