Huge Community Folder And What To Do...

Maybe I'm stuck in the 'old ways' a little. Or simply continued to use what has worked for me well for so long.
Or I was just too lazy to adopt a new method of managing my files.

I wasn't an early adopter of Addons Linker myself, so I can see where you're coming from. As a result of waiting till I had an already large number of addons, it did take longer to organise within the app, but it was well worth the effort. And the more organised you are before starting to use it, the easier that will be. Those who have just blindly dumped every addons folder into Community will need to do a lot more housekeeping to begin with, whilst those who have already got addons split into subfolders (e.g. different aircraft types, countries, continents, realism mods etc) will find it a pretty easy task).

In short AOL is as complicated or easy to set up as you want it to be, but the more you realise it can do for you (such as pointing out duplicate ICAO codes indicating you have more than one version of an airport or that you've installed it twice in different locations!), the more you appreciate it.
