When multiple plugins are registered from one source file or one directory, they are automatically grouped under a Sub-Menu that is named like the folder.
My-Plugins\
my-plugins.pyp
# Registers 2 PluginsThen you will find a "My-Plugins" SubMenu in the plugins-menu that contains both plugins.

Had to bump this, because I had basically the same question.
Do we need to hook the plugins manually? -

Do you mean an icon for the submenu/folder itself, inside the plugins menu? I don't think that's possible, just the name..
It is possible to create your own menu though, ie outside the Plugins menu..
Also, what you can do with a palette, similar to for example where you can click on the Array object icon on the main toolbar, if you click and hold it opens up a small palette with icons for other objects..

Hello,
in case you are talking about adding an icon to a submenu of the existing plugins menu: this is not possible as described in this thread: "add icon to programmatically created submenu".
Cinema 4D is creating the subfolders of the "Plugins" menu automatically. A subfolder is only created if it contains more than one plugin element. You can organize your plugins folders in subfolders by creating such folders in the actual "plugins" folder of your Cinema installation.
Finally you could create complete new menus reacting to the C4DPL_BUILDMENU message as described in the documentation.
Best wishes,
Sebastian
