Scripting Listener

Question

Hello,
I am trying to install the Scripting Listener plugin in Photoshop 2021 (mac intel OS 11.5.2). I used the 2020 plugin since it seems to be the latest version. I have installed scriptinglistener.pluging in the ../Photoshop 2021/plug-ins folder and restarted Photoshop.
I can find scriptinglistener under plugins or Automate. Any help/suggestions would be very appreciated.
Thank you
-JPK

The ScriptingListener.plugin doesn't show on any menus in photoshop, it's used to

record events in photoshop so that you can use that info when constructing scripts.

Photoshop puts the contents into java script in a file on your desktop called ScriptingListenerJS.log

The instructions herehttps://helpx.adobe.com/in/photoshop/kb/downloadable-plugins-and-content.html, which reference this discussion, are outdated. It tells us to unzip the file, but we already get a .plugin file, which contains a binary, not the mentioned folders, Documents, Sample Scripts and Utilities. It would be nice if Adobe cared a bit more about updating the documentation, at least once a year.
