I can't get the navigraph files shown below to appear as shortcuts in my Community folder for some reason. The pic on the left is from the Addons Linker, and the pic on the right from my Community folder. I have tried deleting the navigraph folders from the Community folder and then selecting the files (folders) in Addon Linker and saving the associated Preset, but after updating Addons Linker the files (folders) are no longer selected or green in color and I always end up as shown below. I assume these navigraph entries in Addons Linker are gray to indicate something has not worked as usual. I have other navigraph files in Addons Linker that work as expected in that the associated shortcuts do show up in the Community folder as expected.

Thanks for any suggestions,
Al

Hello 🍻

AL can only link folders that contain a manifest.json file, do those folders shown in your screenshots have one ?

If not, then they are considered as 'folders' used to organize addons and not as addons themself, in that case they won't have the red/green indicator, and that's what we see in your AL screenshot.

So please check if they have a manifest.json file, if not they probabably shouldn't be in your 'AL addons folders' because they are not considered Addons by the sim or by AL.

Yes, they all have a manifest.json file although some of the manifest.json files show up as one long line in Notepad++ instead of the multi-line format that seems to be more common (at least to me). I would not expect that to be an issue, however.

Thanks,

@ark if there's a manifest.json file in those folders then something is not right. Sometimes .json files are not multi-lines but that's not an issue. For AL, even if the .json file was empty or contained completely wrong data, it would still show the green/red indicator.

I have a navigraph subscription so i installed all those packages to replicate your screenshot and everything seems ok on my end, what you get is really strange if there's really a manifest.json file in each of those folders.

i will send you a little private msg to investigate further 🍻

I have managed to get it all working (I think!).
Thanks very much for the support!
