Hello,

Reading "Writing ImageJ Plugins—A Tutorial" by Werner Bailer indicates
that in the past the plugins folder could have subdirectories from which
submenus are automatically created.  I noticed that for ImageJ 1.38t on
Mac OSX it doesn't seem to work.  Here's a snippet from the tutorial
which was written for version 1.36.

> 2.2 Plugins Folder—Installing Plugins
> ImageJ user plugins have to be located in a folder called plugins, which is a subfolder of
> the ImageJ folder. But only class files in the plugins folder with at least one underscore in
> their name appear automatically in the “Plugins” menu. Since version 1.20 it is also possible
> to create subfolders of the plugins folder and place plugin files there. The subfolders are
> displayed as submenus of ImageJ’s “Plugins” menu.

I didn't find any reference in the ImageJ News bulletin about a change
away from that behavior. Is there a trick to this?

Thanks,
Ben
