Dear all.<br>
<br>
I'm not sure if this is the correct place to ask this kind of
question but ... <br>
I start anyway.<br>
<br>
Imagine, there is an addon in trunc. The developer produces a new
version and<br>
a friend of him wants to update this addon on his computer. Since he
has no idea<br>
about computers, he uses this 'install addon' option in the
preferences.<br>
<br>
This does not work, the addon cannot be updated. Under MacOS some
strange things <br>
happen and under Windows, Blender is blocked constantly saying
'there is a mismatch of <br>
the old addon and the recently installed one'. The addon cannot even
be activated in the <br>
preferences.<br>
<br>
Is there an other 'simple' way to update manually? Of course, you
can do it via cp<br>
in a shell with superuser rights. But what I search is an easy way
... for non-specialists.<br>
<br>
Thanks for some comments.<br>

PS: Otherwise, one could introduce a new button called 'update' to
update any<br>
existing addon. <= To my opinion this is <b>urgently</b> needed!
