Description

With BitBar I had a repo of all my plugins nested inside a folder (so I could install dependencies up 1 level) but with xbar there is no option to change the folder. I "solved" this by removing the plugin folder created by xbar and symlinking in my old folder. It would be nice to do this via the GUI in a "supported" way. Thank you!

Temp Fix:

````
rm ~/Library/Application\ Support/xbar/plugins
ln -s ~/git/joshstrange/bitbar-scripts/scripts ~/Library/Application\ Support/xbar/plugins
````

Research direction

The issue does not name implementation files or tests. Start by locating the xbar GUI entry point and the code that selects the plugins folder, then determine how a user-configurable folder should be exposed. Done means the plugins directory can be changed through the GUI without the symlink workaround and the selected folder is used after restarting xbar.
