Summary	0018389: Modified default addons are overwritten on re-install
Description	MM5 pre-installs bunch of addons like lyricsSources, caseChecker, spotify, etc. etc. But currently if one customizes e.g. caseChecker addon and increases its version in /scripts/caseChecker/info.json then such a modifications are overwritten by the original sources on MM5 re-install. MM5 should overwrite it only when the version is higher than the current version of the addon.
Tags	No tags attached.

Fixed in build	2601

Maybe we could do the same for the Portable installs, i.e. to have separate folder for the scripts/skins installed manually by users (separated from the default core addons and thus have all the core addons non-removable). EDIT: For the Portable installs we could store the user installed scripts/skins/layouts to the Portable folder (to be separated from the core addons).

Please test this carefuly as there have been quite a lot of changes. i.e. installing/uninstalling to various locations, configuration of scripts/plugins, whether icons are shown properly etc. Test note: The install path can be viewed in the Addons dialog when hovering mouse over the addon's title: image.png (37,992 bytes) image.png (37,992 bytes)
