 * Hi
 * I just installed the latest version of the plugin (v5.1) and have been trying
   to create plugin groups at the plugins list by selecting some of them and creating
   a new group from the drop down menu that your plugin added at the plugins index’s
   top.
    Nothing happens once I select some plugins and choose “Groups: New Group”.
   No new group is created and none plugins get grouped. Also if I go to a post 
   or a page, there are no groups available except the standard one (which I’m not
   able to figure out how it works…). Am I doing something wrong?

 * Select “Save Group” in the bulk actions dropdown and then click apply.

 * I was having same problem so did what was suggested above…
 * Save Group > — New Group — > Test Group
 * Then ticked several plugins on the main plugins list, then clicked Apply button…
   nothing happens. No group created.
 * Would it be worth having a new Plugin Groups screen under the Plugins menu, where
   I can create/rename/reorder groups? That would be much easier to understand than
   current UI.

 * Seems if there’s a space in the group title that the group creation silently 
   fails.
 * I named group TestGroup (instead of Test Group) and it worked.

 * But now the group is created I can’t add any plugins to it (using either Save
   Group or Add to Group options with that group selected and a plugin ticked).

 * Seems very unreliable when adding to group – sometimes it works, sometimes it
   doesn’t. Sometimes it only works when adding one plugin at a time, other times
   I can add a few plugins at a time. Also, after doing a successful add I need 
   to clear browser cache and reload whole plugins page before I can add another
   one successfully.

 * The page does not refresh itself when you add plugins to a group. After you add
   a plugin you have to refresh the page to see the effects. I’ll look into refreshing
   the page with javascript. As for the inconsistencies, I can’t recreate the problem.
   I have a few groups with spaces in their names and they are working fine.
