Understood, not a must have feature, in this case, just exploring. Another question about when the addon directory in the backend is scanned.
It seems that if I update my custom configuration in the backend addon dir, next time I open a file using it, it gets the updates, without restarting the backend, but sometimes it doesn't work, not sure. I think sometimes I've updated only a CSS file. Do I need to touch the .xxe file, for example, to get it reloaded? What if a client had a file opened when the update occurred and another client opens a file using the updated addon. Or is a backend restart always required? This is a consideration for the server deployment, if I don't need to restart the backend server, just update the custom addons, the better.
