It may be a lot of work, but the benefits are more than just compatibility, that is just the biggest benefit.
If it is acceptable other benefits would include...
- All settings for addons in one location
- All Help for addons in one location
- All addons apply toolbar icons in a similar fashion, and allow the user to choose which icons they want to display.
- Easier for end users to install scripts
- Scripters could apply MAS to their scripts, so that they are not the only ones who can write addons for it.
- Scripters could check to see if the addon type is compatible with the script, and educate the user on the scripts functionality if it already exists.
- Support addons could be wrote to help eliminate repeating code in several different files, or loading the same dll 10 times.
For now that's what benefits I can think of, and some may not be all that great, but I am running out of time, gotta goto work. I do appreciate your input, and would like to hear more input from people.
