Adding on Addon Scenery

[dhasdell]

When we add new scenery, we usually put the new folder containing its own scenery and texture folders into the Addon Scenery folder and activate it via the Scenery Library. Why don't we just drop the contents of the new scenery and texture folders into the ones already in Addon Scenery, which would presumably avoid duplication of textures? Is it so that we can easily remove it again if we want to, or so that it is only loaded when actually needed rather than on every start up, so saving a little time, or is there some other reason?

I would say for ease of getting rid of it if
A: u didn't like it after installing
B: it caused u problems after installing it
C: so u could replace it with someting better later on.

Yeah I thought I'd get cute once, and dropped all my Greek scenery into the same scenery and textures folders.
An update came along, using a couple of different filenames for one of the sceneries, and trashed the whole install.
Because some files had been overwritten, I had to dump the whole folder.
Best left separate, and use file duplicating utilities to weed out nasties.
