automating enabling of plugin settings on new versions

[panagiotis merakos]

Hi Richard,

I think that changing the permissions of the app bundle may cause issues
with OSX's Gatekeeper. If you want to customize or change the settings (and
make sure the changes do stick) of the Application Browser, I suggest you
put a copy of it in your Plugins folder.

In case you are interested, see
http://quality.livecode.com/show_bug.cgi?id=17757 for more details on this.

Best,
Panos
