5 years ago Hi, sorry, it won’t make the cut for 2018.4. I’ll take this on but after #6275 is merged into master first. CC @NVDAEs in case she wants to take this on, as checkable list is a good implementation strategy for this. Thanks.

There is another issue similar to this one open, but it only covers system config and it seems to have not been looked at. Since the disabled add-ons facility was recently added, I figured why not bring this up? I'd like to see this in 2018.4. I, and some other users probably, have some large add-ons such as vocalizer or acapella voices, or other synth drivers and such I do not need on portable copies for school computers. In order to skip copying those now and taking forever to do so, I must cut the add-ons into a temporary storage folder and restart NVDA, create the copy, put them back and restart again. Since we have a facility to disable add-ons I thought why not simply skip copying them if they are disabled? Still requires a restart but you don't have to manually move things around. The same should apply to system config when copying add-ons, I don't need most of my add-ons in system config but I might need a few, like some people need remote, or my primary synth driver, etc.
