Still happening as of Wine 4.2 (Staging).

I figured out a workaround in the meantime if anyone uses FL's file browser to
load plugins. Repeat these steps separately for the Effects and Generators
folders:

1. Make a folder in the parent Effects/Generators folder called Images.
Alongside it make an empty file called Images.nfo file and write:

    Visible=False

in it. This hides the Images folder in FL's file browser.

2. Move all .png files for all the plugins in the parent folder and any child
folders into the Images folder.

You can also sort them folder-wise in the same way as the parent folder so you
can easily move everything back in if/when this bug is fixed (e.g.
Generators/Images/SomeCategory/Plugin.png), but this is not strictly necessary.

3. Rewrite the path in each plugin's .nfo file to point to the .png in the
Images folder. For example, this .nfo is located in Generators/FL/Sytrus.nfo
and the .png is in Generators/Images/FL/Sytrus.png:

    Bitmap=../Images/FL/Sytrus.png

I recommend writing a script to do these steps if you have a lot of .nfos
because manually doing all this would take a while to do. If anyone wants my
fish script that moves the images and writes to the .nfos automatically please
comment.
