Prevent Kodi From Wiping the addons directory
#1
My apologies if this is the wrong thread for this question...

I've been developing an addon and am adding code directly in:

~/Library/Application\ Support/Kodi/addons/plugin.video.myaddon (osx)

Unfortunately every once in a while kodi likes to refresh these files back to the last installed/updated version.

I know, the likely solution is just to not develop directly in the addons folder but..

Is there anyway to prevent kodi from messing with the files in this directory?

Thanks

you could try disable updates in the system --> addons pop out window from the left Auto updates OFF

As you said, don't develop in that folder. Don't use same addon ID as that will overwrite any update

@myfototv, @Martijn Thank you for the replies. Found the pop out under System > Settings > Add-ons ... left side pop out menu ... Misc: Options > Auto updates: Never
