Plugins folder gotcha

[Bob Sneidar]

I put mine in /users/shared/livecode. That way if I ever nuke my profile I will not lose everything, and another user *could* login with a different account and still have access to all the plugins.

I had imported a couple of sets of images into the LC Image Library and it turns out they are stored in a Resources folder which was inside the original User Extensions folder (My Revolution Studio in my case).  I copied the Resources folder over to the new Livecode folder and all is back to normal now.
