Not sure how to refresh the Plugins menu directly, but in my (limited)
experience, the dialog launched from Development > Plugins > Plugin Settings
is able to see anything newly added to the plugins folder in its pulldown
list.  Perhaps you can poke around there to see if there's anything you can
hack into.
