There are lots of things that now get stored separately from the 
application folder, so that they will survive updates. As of version 2.7 
you only have to install things like plugins and libraries once, and 
every new update will use them.

If it does not already exist, create a folder in your Documents folder 
called "My Revolution [edition]". That is, if you have the Enterprise 
version, your folder would be called "My Revolution Enterprise". Inside 
that folder is where all the extras go, in these subfolders:

   Plug ins now load from "Plugins" folder
   Database drivers now load from "Database Drivers" folder
   Externals now load from "Externals" folder
   External & database drivers loaded here are picked up by Standalone 
Builder
   Object Libraries are stored in Resources/Object Libraries
   Image Libraries are stored in Resources/Image Libraries

For your image libraries, make a subfolder inside the "My Revolution 
<whatever>" folder called "Resources". Inside that, a folder called 
"Image Libraries". Inside that, your libraries.

Note that so far these folders aren't created by default, you have to 
make them.
