Req alternative to prevent abuse of <requires> in addon.xml
#46
Did have a quick read of the whole Tread and a short look at the git comment.


What about to present a list with the required addons while installing the skin where the user could choose

"Install all"

or is able to select just the Addons he want? (Togglebuttons)

+ a Warning message if he decide select the ons he want instead of "install all"

"Warning some Skinfunctionalyty may got lost if you decide not to Install these Addons"

+ eventually a short discription what which Addon does.

I wouldnt like to Force the user to push a "O.K."-button for every Script / addon which comes with the Skin.


EDIT:

Here's a quick Mockup (didnt Spellcheck so sry if i did mistakes)

EDIT2:

Still not shure if this is a wise / good way!

I personaly would prefere something Like "Run.Addon" + A Setting in the Addon if it sould run as a Service.

With some Imagination i can understand that some Users dont like things like the Popup from Nextup.Script but beside this (special?) case...
