I'm hesitant to start raising feature requests for something that isn't even out the door yet, but this is just a suggestion to improve an already great feature.
Add-ons needs a view to see which installed addons have updates available, without having to drill down through the folder structure of "Enabled add-ons".
Lately I start XBMC and get notification of 3 or 4 new add-ons. You then have to go to the add-ons section and start hunting around in the Enabled add-ons to find the ones that need updating. Would be much easier if there was a "virtual folder" showing Enabled add-ons that can be upgraded.
Cheers

Thanks Montellese for taking this initiative.
I haven't looked at the code, but notice you said in Trac that you've included a media source for outdated addons. Does this mean I need to create a new source for this? Or is this how the virtual folders are handled in the Add-ons section?
Cheers

I had to create a virtual media source to be able to show it in the user interface. The "Enabled Addons" etc are virtual media sources as well. This means you don't have to do anything. It automatically appears under Settings -> Add-ons whenever there is an update availabale for one of your installed addons.

Why not apply updates automatically like other addons ie .. scrapers ..
The normal XBMC log IS NOT a debug log, to enable debug logging you must toggle it on under XBMC Settings - System or in advancedsettings.xml. Use
XBMC Debug Log Addon to retrieve it.

Can addons be applied automatically? If so, how do you set this up?
Personally, I wouldn't want skins applied automatically but small things like scrapers I would. Can you control this individually on a per addon type?
