I like to keep my AddonPackages (ALLPackages) folder clean, so when there is a new update like "ispinox_Col_Update-2025-09-25.zip" I would create a folder called "ispinox" and unzip the update into that folder.
So my folder structure would look like this:
Sometimes I don't visit for a while and I download a lot of zip files that can get really tedious. So I created a small program in VB.net that took care of it. Because of the usual naming convention it works very well. If it's just a .var it will still put it in the correct root folder name. I generally run it in my downloads folder then copy the results to my VAM folder. It also moves the zip files to a _Processed folder so you don't do extra work. I decided to share it with F95 but then realized that not everyone wants to install all the necessary .net libraries and it was a huge packaged program. So I decided to get AI to help me make it in python (I'm not good at all with python) and It seems to be working (under my limited testing) pretty well. I used PySide6 for it's drag and drop abilities. Executable is about 44 MB after using pyinstaller
