Hello, I'm new to WoWUI and I had a suggestion to import current users mods without having to write executable or ActiveX code client code.

Essentially you need the user to send a listing of their AddOns directory so that a server side script to parse through the list and add the users installed scripts.

Ideally this could be done with the C:\Program Files\World of Warcraft\WTF\Account\<USERACCOUNT>\<REALM>\<TOON>\AddOns.txt file however this is user/toon specific and a little deep for non computer types.

Maybe a easier idea would to have the enter the following in a run box on windows:

dir C:\"Program Files\World of Warcraft\Interface\AddOns" /b > C:\"Program Files\World of Warcraft\Interface\AddOns\"addons.txt

I'm sure the ls command on the mac could do the same thing.

The you fine guys at WoWUI could create a script to read through the users text file and add the users mods to our favorites.

I'm not sure any of the mod sites do this right now.

I can say for sure that this is never going to happen for security reasons, and also because it's not really possible - the folder names of the mods never usually match their names on the site, so it's pretty hard to match them up (hence why UI Central sometimes struggles).
