"Open Plug-ins Folder" missing from PMS System Tray?

Feature Suggestions

Server Version#: 1.18.2.2041

Was about to go check my logs and noticed that the option from the system tray has disappeared entirely.

Since the Plugins are obsolete at this point I should have expected them to remove it a long time ago. And removing it would have made a lot of sense back then.

However, this shortcut to PMS directory was quite useful instead of going through AppData\Local\Plex Media Server manually.

PMS is hosted and managed by us the admins and a shortcut to our logs from the system tray was the easiest way to open the folder. I hope this can be added back BUT linking it to the “Logs Folder” instead would be much better.

I filed this as a feature request.
I like it, I see the advantage of it for struggling users. (And it probably needs very little developer time since the code is practically already there.)

btw are you aware that you can easily access the logs in the web app, even when it runs on a different machine?
Settings - Manage - Troubleshooting

I do use this option monthly to record logs. Since the contents are zipped I’d avoid the hassle to unzip them, unless I was to send these on the forum or elsewhere to debug issues.
