That folder is meant only for the plugins that ship with LiveCode, and 
if you put custom ones in there they will no longer be found when you 
update to a new version.

The preferred location for user plugins is in a folder named Plugins, 
inside a folder you specify in Preferences in the Files and Memory pane. 
You'll need to create that folder if this is the first plugin you've 
installed.

I've put my plugins folder into Dropbox and pointed all my copies of 
LiveCode to it so that no matter what machine I'm on or what version of 
LiveCode I'm running, they all use the same plugin set. It should be 
inside an enclosing folder that will/can also hold other LiveCode 
resource folders. The path to my LiveCode extensions folder is:

Dropbox/Application Support/Livecode/Plugins/

I manually created all the containing folders.
