How to maintain my addons?
I'm a newbie in addons but I love em, so much freedom to customize and all that. But I would like to know if there's anything to do to maintain them. Like, deleting pointless cache data or something to take some of the load off. Thanks for any input!

There isn't really much you need to do to "maintain" them as a user. Most of the work ends up needing to happen on the author side, but you can support authors with that.
Some things that come to mind:
I'm sure there are other things too that would help that I didn't think of right now. |
I already do that, positive feedback is always good to hear. Especially knowing how many authors are getting through very hard times and working on these add-ons is their way of processing all that.
As for the rest, I do my best to keep track of dates and updates. Thanks a lot for the help and the info, mate. |
Here is a link to SavevVariables [SV, in short] (stores your settings of addons locally to your PC) describing how to find them, help to read them and how to backup them.
Maybe another thing that needs to be known about addons as SV should be backuped regularly (I recommand at least once a week) so you can go back to them easily. https://www.esoui.com/forums/showthread.php?t=9235 They only change files if you reload the UI, logout or quit the game so if the client crashes they got an old unsaved state and you might loose data. That's why having backups saves a lot of time, especially if you use addons that store data accross your toons, liek carfting and research related, and/or guild sales data etc. |
