**Mac: OSX 10.15.7**

I have created a plugin which is to be installed locally and does not require submission to Adobe for authentication.

I have packaged the plugin and saved it to a folder called +++UXP in my Downloads Folder  
When trying to install, I get the following Error

 ![Screenshot 2020-11-02 at 22.13.52](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex015/uploads/xdplugins/original/1X/33faa162143cb1c3686aefd7ab85ffb9a6a0e60d.jpeg)

**How I Fixed This**  
It turns out that if I remove the +++ from the folder name, it works fine.  
So it appears that having +++ part of the folder name is causing the issue.

I usually put +++ in the folder name so they appear at the top of the list when sorted by name.

Is this a Bug in the way that CCD install plugins?

Might use `_`?

Not sure why +'s fail, but they and a few others (`#`, and `&`) also do.
