Migrate Add-Ons and Maintain Gramplets When Installing New Version of Gramps

When upgrading to a new version of Gramps the new version of Gramps does not include any add-ons. Further, the upgraded version of Gramps does not load gramplets (except maybe ‘tip of the day’ if I remember correctly). Then the user will have to restore add-ons and gramplets (if the user used them in the previous version).

It would be great if, during the installation process, that Gramps re-loaded any add-ons that the user installed in the previous version and, it would be great if gramplets were restored during the installation process, if any gramplets were configured by the user.

I understand that maybe some add-ons and/or gramplets may become incompatible from one version to another. In that case, a message may be given to the user or it may just silently be skipped.

Thank you for consideration.
