===Addon updater===
Normally you have to install a *.xsiaddon file but it seems that is gets unzipped to another folder so we could just download new scripts and resources via GUI, making this thing more modular.
 
Location of used *.xsiaddon files<br>
C:\Users\UserName\Autodesk\Softimage_Mod_Tool_7.5\Addons\InstalledAddons

        +-- Plugins

We only need the GUI to figure out where the folders are. Either automatic search or some sort of user input.
