This happened to me once before, and I cannot remember how it was fixed.
In reverting to 4.5.0 from 4.5.2 I have lost a plug-in I wrote. It runs a
few simple startup scripts.
I placed it in the plugins folder of the 4.5.0 folder, but it will not
appear in the "Development/plugins" menu in the IDE. In fact, if I relocate one
of the other existing plugins (RegExBuilder) and then restart LC, that
plugin still appears in the menu, even though it is missing from the folder.
So a plugin that is out of the folder appears in the menu, and one that is
in the folder does not.
I am mismanaging something, and misunderstanding much more.
Plugins shouldn't go into the plugins folder inside the LC bundle, but
rather into a user Plugins folder. By default that's located in
Documents/LiveCode/Plugins, but you can set it to any folder by changing
the path in the Files pane of Preferences. When setting the folder,
don't point the path to Plugins, point it to the enclosing folder
(Documents/LiveCode/).
The path you set 4.5.2 should have been recognized by 4.5, since they
both share the same prefs file. But try opening preferences and setting
the path to the one that holds your Plugins folder and then restart 4.5.
