Plugins folder ignored

[vanowm]

It seems v1.8.7 ignore folder plugins, so when dll files moved into root folder, than the these plugins load on startup.
For example the default columnizer selection:

There is no regex, json columnizer.

Or Am I doing something wrong here?

Your "plugins" folder should look like this

this will result in a window like this:

Could you pls check again, if you have all the dlls in the correct folder.

Also pls check if this happens if you start Logexpert with elevated rights (as admin)

Found what's caused it:
I extracted downloaded .zip file with Windows Explorer. The problem with this method is that Windows marks all files downloaded from the internet as "unsafe":

Which prevented LE to load plugins until they all were "unblocked".

A better solution is to use 7zip or WinRAR to extract .zip files, they don't mark files as "unsafe"
