As an addon developer I need a cross-platform developer mode that is easy to use

[FuzzkingCool]

Is there an existing issue for this?

• I have searched the existing issues.

Please describe the feature you have in mind and explain what the current shortcomings are?

Currently Dev Bundles only work for one OS platform at a time since you can only enter one path per addon that you are working on in the Bundle settings. Without this setup I can't test without switching dev bundles back and forth between changes, which is easy to lose track of, and slows iteration.

How would you imagine the implementation of the feature?

One simple fix it were possible to use a bare network path, ex.:
//SomeComputer/SomeFolder/someaddon/client , that would be ideal ( not prefixed by smb:// for macOS ). This currently works on Windows even with forward slashes, but not MacOS. I haven't tested Linux.

Another would be to simply allow different paths per platform.

Are there any labels you wish to add?

Simpler solution might be to allow just an env var in dev bundle dev paths for addons. Since it's dev targeted I'd say it's fine it needs you to set the relevant env var outside of AYON?
