PluginManager

Replace the Installed Plugins section with a whole new interface. Plugin Manager provides both users and developers with an improved comprehensive layout displaying a new section for troubleshooting plugins with a new plugin structure breakdown for each plugin. Install plugins direct from the Plugin Directory or explore new upcoming or untested features from manual plugins.
