Title:
  OpenLP picks up macOS hidden files when loading plugins

Status in OpenLP:
  Fix Committed

Bug description:
  macOS *loves* to litter the filesystem with hidden files which are
  somehow useful to it. Unfortunately this means that if a user moves
  OpenLP out of the Applications directory, macOS will create these
  silly ._* files, and then OpenLP chokes on them when trying to find
  its plugins.

  To work around macOS's ridiculous behaviour, we simply need to make
  sure we exclude files starting with "._" when searching for plugins.

  See the original bug report below:

  
  Version: {'version': '2.4.6', 'full': '2.4.6', 'build': None}

  --- Details of the Exception. ---

  Hi,

  I have a need to keep some applications on the USB sticlk, so I moved entire OpenLP folder from
  /Volumes/Macintosh HD/Applications/
  to
  /Volumes/KINGSTONE64/Applications/

  The trick above works fine to other applications like Evenote, Gimp,
  Nozbe, Google Earth, etc... while OpenLP won't start after that. Even
  OpenSong starts propelry after move to USB stick.

  Thank you in advance for the correction, I would appreciate for the
  patch or woraround as soon as possible.

  Best regards
