qt-addon-browser

A add-on browser widget, to quickly open blender add-on folders in explorer. To help speed up add-on development.

qt-addon-browser	default add-on browser in Preferences

Requirements

• bqt

Feature planned

Main prio:

• no option to right click, open addon install directory

copy default blender addon manager features

• enable disable
• list all addons
• search addons by name
• show explorer path (but no copy)
• docs button
• bug report button
• preferences
• addon install

Stretch goals

fix minor issues with the default addon browser

• shows all addons, no option to filter out default addons
• no option to filter by directory
• no easy option to customize.
• search bar doesn't stay at top when scrolling down

Wishlist

• can we have some kind of view mode to see what data is saved to blender cloud? unsure how this works atm
• support display (e.g. as red) even if addon not correctly installed. (e.g. when a folder with files is in the addon folder without a correct python script setup)
• show dependencies
  • python libs based on requirements?
  • other dependencies, e.g. blend files?
• editable install (point to local addon working repo or project)
