Laika, activating it temporarily.
I've hit a point where I'd love to get developer mode back in Plex 9.5 while I'm working on a new plugin. Waiting for the system to refresh and reload the plugin from the ground up isn't working well while I'm doing single line changes trying to find a specific bug.  
  
I've not been able to dig up the new sets of instructions on how to do it (and the option is hidden away now anyway), so I'm only mildly stymied on getting that mode back.

Thank you, that appears to have worked.
