Thanks for posting!

Are there advantages/disadvantages to installing in either of the suggested locations?

<LabVIEW 20xx>\resource\dialog\QuickDrop\plugins

<LabVIEW Data>\Quick Drop Plugins

[croohcifer]

Installing in <LabVIEW Data> allows any version of LabVIEW on the installed PC to use the plugin.  Just make sure to save the plugin for the earliest version of LabVIEW you want supported.  The <LabVIEW 20xx> directory will limit the plugin to operating in a certain version (year and bitness) of LabVIEW, which may be preferable if, for example, your plugin is only supported in 64-bit or has a method only released starting in LabVIEW 2016 or something like that.  (I've honestly never come across these cases with quick drop plugins, so I always install to the <LabVIEW Data> directory.)
