I'm pretty sure this is a no-no, but it has worked well for me.

I right-click on the Live Code application in the Application folder  
and open the Package Contents/Tools/Plugins.

I do this for 4.5.1 and 4.5.2 and then just Option-Drag the plugin of  
interest from Plugin folder to the other. Works like a charm.

Don't tell anybody I'm doing this. I'm sure it's naughty.
