An update to my Minion Replacement: One Click Installs and Automatic Updates

I've posted previously about the extension I've been writing for Vortex, ESO UI Integration, that is meant to act as a complete replacement for Minion. Between the fact that it's built into one of the more popular mod managers around, being built on a platform that's getting active development and it automatically installing addon dependencies for you I was pretty happy with it.

But over the last couple of weeks I've been working on a massive update for it! With the new version, if you go into the "Downloads" settings of Vortex, you can enable automatic updates of ESO UI Addons! Whenever you open Vortex with ESO as your selected game, or swap to ESO from another game, it'll automatically check for and update any ESO Addons you've got installed!

And if that wasn't enough, if you install the Chrome or the Firefox extension, when you visit addons in esoui.com you'll see a new Vortex button next to the download button. Clicking this will open Vortex and install that addon (and it's dependencies) with no extra input needed!

I hope you guys like this, and I look forward to feedback

    Perhaps it's a bit of long-shot, but I saw that TESOnline tweeted out about Minion when it was first announced, so I've tweeted them directly to let them know about my replacement for Minion

    Have you heard anything from them as I'm on the fence about going from Minion to Vortex as I've used it since it was initially released.

    Greetings,

    This thread has been moved to the ADD-ONS & UI MODS section, as it is better suited there.

    Thank you for your understanding.

    I've installed Vortex and integrated your mod but the addons folder remain empty despite I have a ton installed with minion. How to make that thing find my addons?
