Wrong install location

Install location %LOCALAPPDATA%\PowerToys\RunPlugins written in readme is wrong. %LOCALAPPDATA%\Microsoft\PowerToys\PowerToys Run\Plugins\ is true.
@Youxikong
I just did a fresh install using winget, %LOCALAPPDATA%\PowerToys\RunPlugins is the correct install location
%LOCALAPPDATA%\Microsoft\PowerToys\PowerToys Run\Plugins\ is where logs are stored, that shouldn't be where you put the plugin, which installation method did you use?
I've changed the readme back to %LOCALAPPDATA%\PowerToys\RunPlugins
It's confusing. I'm using version 0.77.0. In my computer, there is no directory PowerToys in %LOCALAPPDATA%, all Powertoys Run relative files are placed in %LOCALAPPDATA%\Microsoft\PowerToys\PowerToys Run, including Plugins.
And some other powertoys run plugins repository is also claiming %LOCALAPPDATA%\PowerToys\RunPlugins is the install location, like PowerToys-Run-EdgeFavorite
So you were right, I didn't realize PT made changes and recommendations for 3rd party plugins to be installed in that directory.
I guess it makes it easier to have all 3rd party plugins be included when creating logs for error reporting.
Instructions have been reverted back.
