EDIT: Never mind. I see that this is still very much under development on github.
Since Kodi v10, users have been trained to access the add-on manager from an option in the top level of the system settings. The new default skin changes this to the add-on manager being accessed from the home screen add-on menu. I have no objection to that, however, I would like to ask that a small line be added to act as a shortcut, and place it here:
Settings -> System -> Add-ons -> Add-on manager
We already have two such shortcuts for "dependancies" and "running". It might not help everyone find the add-on manager right away, but most will likely find it as they poke through things.
In addition to that, it can be very confusing to users to see an add-on settings window that does not have any link to the add-on manager.
The same can be said for Live TV/PVR. I think the Live TV settings menu should have a shortcut to the PVR add-ons window in the add-on manager.
I think this would have a significant impact on helping people find where things have gone, while still keeping the improved settings layout.
