Background
When a user on MacOS downloads a folder for a plugin, and compresses it via the built in MacOS compress feature, a hidden directory __MACOSX is created inside the zipped file. It will result in this error when trying to import that zipped plugin:
zipimport.ZipImportError: can't find module '__MACOSX/plugin_name'
Changes
This fix adds a check to see if the plugin starts with __MACOSX and if it does, the file is ignored.
Documentation
I did not document my changes, as the change is very minor, and is just testing an edge case.
Test Plan
I tested multiple plugins from the official plugins repo, with and without the fix. Each time, after I zipped a plugin, I got the zip import error when loading the plugin. However, after the fix, no zip import errors occurred.
