Expected Behavior
When launching in Safe Mode, third party plugins are found, but loading is skipped. When opening the Plugin Manager, there should be an indication that plugins loading was skipped due to safe mode.
Current Behavior
Opening the Plugin Manager shows all third party plugins as "Missing" and lists them as having been previously installed but can no longer be found.
Steps to Reproduce
- Install a plugin
- Launch OBS in normal mode
- Quit OBS, and launch in Safe Mode
- Open the Plugin Manager window.
