Hi all, I wanted to share an addon manager (well, a downloader atm) I've been making for Elder Scrolls Online players, that runs natively on Linux. Basically it just downloads all the addons from a huge list and also updates Tamriel TradeCenter prices for you, so you don't have to go hunt down every link again whenever an addon updates.. Or fight with the official-ish ESOUI client and it's jar files. The links are saved in a simple txt file so you can even share your addon list easily with friends, lol.

Here's the link: https://github.com/Akselmo/ESOLinuxAddonManager

Currently it uses Python and GTK. I however want to move the app to Qt and C++ since it would give me a perfect reason to study both Qt and C++. I will at first try to get the Qt version of the app just do the same as the Python app does, but eventually I want to make it compare versions and only update those addons that need updating, proper managing so you can delete addons installed, etc etc.

Anyway it's just a hobby project, I hope people here like it and find it useful. Feel free to create issues if you encounter crashes! There are few crashes that has happened to me and I have no idea why because if I launch the app through terminal, it of course behaves perfectly... So sometimes just restarting the app fixes the problem.

PS. I wasn't really sure what category to share this in, but since ESO is Steam Play/Wine Gaming, i put this there. I hope thats ok
