The first thing you'll probably do when trying this tool for the first time is move your currently installed addons outside of your 'real community folder' to put them in your new 'custom addon folder'. To avoid problems, please try first with a single addon only to make sure everything works fine for you.It would be sad if you move 200GB and then you notice it does not work for you. Files placed directly in the new folder should always work but, for some users (not the majority) the files moved might get encrypted if you have the MS-Store version so it's worth checking before. Thank you.

Addons linker / Addon linker
Hello
Another little addon manager. Made to match my own needs and just sharing with the community.
I tried to keep the UI very simple but it should hopefully do the job 'feature-wise'.
- lets you organize your addon freely in folder and subfolders in your folder of choice
- will create links in the community folder. There is no need to move files in and out of the folder.
- very easy to activate/deactivate groups of addons (single click)
- lets you save presets of addons
- lets you rename addons (link will be automatically updated)
- lets you add / update / remove addons
Installation :
- just extract all the files and drop them in a folder of your choice and run the EXE file
usage :
- create a folder where you will put your addons, add your addons in there instead of putting them in the community folder, you can create as many subfolder as you want to organize your files efficiently
- launch the application, in the options screen set your 'addon folder' and your 'community folder'
- just click on the checkbox to activate/deactivate addons
- rest should be fairly easy to understand (little quickstart guide should be coming soon if needed)
notes :
- if it doesn't work please try to set the application to run as admin, if it works but you still get the message at the start, just disable the message in the options screen
big thanks to the guys in the AVSIM forum that helped me testing the very first versions with feedback and ideas. I will now post it here exclusively making it easier to maintain for eventual updates.
Thank you

edit: i think it may be running the batch files but they arent visible when it does, as i put a kill msfs in one and set to 20 sec timeout, it killed the exe.. which is strange because i run the tool as admin, you would think it would show the cmd windows as part of the batch files, i swear this worked before
EDIT2: even if i run as NOT admin the addon linker app, the batch window itself never appears (i have a pause mid way in the batch file.. ) it does prompt for admin rights when it triggers the afterburner profile switch however, its how i knew it was at least running

In the options, in the additional program to launch with MSFS, would it be possible to add the possibility to launch or close a program before MSFS?
For example, to launch Map Enhancement 10 sec before MSFS launch, to close Dropbox or useless program before launching MSFS.
Thanks
