Question about Multiple Folders in Add-On Manager

lizzie — Thu, 09 Jan 2025 22:02:23 GMT

Hey All,

I have a question regarding the Add-On Manager in Archicad. Is it possible to specify more than one folder in the list for add-ons to be automatically loaded at startup?

Thanks in advance for your help!

Hi, I'm afraid you cannot specify multi-folders for loading addons in Archicad now.

HTH.

There is a trick on Windows. May be useful sometimes.
Place a "shortcut" linked to any folder into main AddOn Manager folder.
I use this shorcut pointed to my dev output folder at developing process.

Other trick. If folder name or shorcut name will arounded by round parentheses it will ignored by Archicad.
Sometimes more convenient to disable loading an addon by renaming than deleting the shortcut.
