[FEAT] Allow installation of liveries in subfolder of Community folder

Open wdmaxq opened this issue 4 years ago • 3 comments

Description

Having the Community Folder full of an endless list of livery folders, scenery folders, aircraft folders, all jumbled together, is aggravating.

Solution

Allow livery manager to create and manage a dedicated subfolder of the community folder for installation of all Mega Pack liveries. This would separate them out from aircraft and scenery folders, consistent with how Flight Simulator generally handles subfolders of aircraft and scenery folders.

Why is this the best solution?

Cause it is much easier for the user to manage liveries in conjunction with other addons

It would be ridiculously complex to implement this.

We can consider it, but we have much higher priorities at the moment.

Our current agreement doesn't allow us to modify liveries from the megapack, which is necessary for this.

I tried doing this manually around 2 weeks ago and the simulator didn't recognize the liveries in the sub-directories. I'm not sure if this is the case with the new update but it wasn't possible before.

I think that some form of config merging is needed, which would possibly result in some other 3rd party liveries not showing at all.
