Having readable add-on folder

Rationale

The add-ons folder contains one folder by add-on. Each folder's name is a string of digit. This is quite horrible for a human who want to go read or edit the code of an add-on.

Thus, this add-on create another folder, containing symlinks with the name of the add-on to the add-on folder.

Warning

This does not work on windows. Because this add-ons create symbolic links, and windows can't create them without admin privilege.

Usage

Install this add-on and start anki. That's all. The symlinks are created while anki start. If you install a new add-on, it's symlink won't be created untill you restart anki.

Note also that symlinks are not deleted. Thus a symlink may break if you delete an add-on. (TODO: change that ?)

Configuration

By default the new folder is in the same folder than the original addons directory. You can change this directory in newFolder.

The name of the new folder, by default, is "namedAddons", it can also be changed.
