It certainly could be, but would require me to update the "normal" files every time Sony updates them. If it were more than me doing the UI pieces I could see that being a viable option but as it stands now. I'm not to sure I would have that much more time to devote to this.
As it stands now, all that is required is for the user to "uncheck" an option then delete the thorui folder and re-launch the ThorUI AU. Most play with it a bit until they find what features they want then never mess with it again. At least that's what my experience has been.
Currently the ThorUI AU has a feature to "Do not update if local file is newer" This basically allows one to modify a window and not worry about the AU over writing it. For example the individual notes features.
Other individual UI pieces need only be dropped in the thorui directory to work in conjunction with the ThorUI.
I personally would like the following:
One auto updater to manage all UI customizations. "One ring to rule them all" comes to mind
LOL
For example: I want the Fetish targeting and the thorui tradeskill features.
All could be managed in one central updater where all files could be maintained on the eq2interface server.
Individual authors could update their individual UI pieces and upload a picture and information on their UI mod. All available and viewable via the updater.
This would of course require a group to manage the AU and UI submissions but would make a one stop shop for all interface pieces from all authors.
The updater would also have the ability to remove deselected features if unchecked...
Perfect world permitting though...

This option would be able to essentially delete the individual .xml file that controls that option. Another nice option (i don't know if it's been mentioned) could be a custom UI option which would allow for thoruiAU's features to be available but also add custom pieces to it a seperate folder or just a costom button in advanced settings which stops updating on individual pieces or options.
