You did the obvious, and restarted LC after placing the plugin right? If
you didn't restart lc, and you don't want to, an easy way to force a
re-read of the plugins folder is to go into the plugin settings. You don't

I am having the same problem. The plugin doesn't load and it's not listed
in the Plugins menu or in the Configure Plugins menu. This is with LC 6.6,

I opened the plugin manually from the File Open menu and set it up to use
