Description
Alternative Addon List Design.
- Rearrange controls for more space for title and author. Using a tooltip instead.
- Change the out-of-date text for a more precise description what it means.
- Sort patch addons below their main addon.
- Libraries, not used by any addon, are marked as optional (green).
- Addons unzipped to a suspicious file location (which can be bad for textures/images), are marked yellow as well.
- Disable library after deactivating last reference.
Since Morrowind duplicate manifest text files get sorted out and with new (in Morrowind) tag
## AddOnVersion, the highest (newest) version is used.
This is ideal for libraries. Especially for those used in nearly all addons, like LibStub or LibAddonMenu (LAM).
A "patch" addon is any addon which depends on one or more addon(s) which is/are not a library.
An addon depending on libraries only is a normal main addon.
Remark
Libraries no longer detected by name convention
Libraries have to use the manifest tag ## IsLibrary: true
See
Addon manifest (.txt) format.
