Adding a tool

Hi there,
I've been having some difficulty adding contributed tools to the core set. The documentation sounds very simple: Unzip the contributed tool and add to the "tools" folder in the Processing sketchbook. Unfortunately after multiple tries, including creating new folders, restarts, and fresh downloads, I've encountered little success.
The incompatibility doesn't appear to be isolated to one tool in particular, since I've downloaded "Timeline", "BezierEditor" and "ProcessingJS" tools with no success. Interesting though is tools can be added via the "Add Tool …" option in the pull down menu and appear as expected in the "tools" folder along with the (failed) contributed tools.
Is there a way to get the contributed tools to populate in the "Add Tool…" menu, or am I missing something altogether?
Thanks for your help.
