Lack of interest Install/Upgrade Addons from Archive

[Cupara]

When using this method to install or upgrade addons I find it tedious to click on Addons again to go back to the page to run it again. Having an option to do another install/upgrade or it automatically return to the Addons list page would be great.

It would also be nice if there were a direct link to Options for the addon just installed or upgraded.

Hello, you mean the one that you just installed, or via the add-on list like Rebuild, Disable, etc?

Yes exactly. Instead of having to go to the addons list, scroll down to find the new one, and then click options there.

It would also be nice, that every addon will have a option for realy clean uninstall.
At the moment Xenforo provides a system who every coder can do what they want and th customer has to do a lot of extra work to uninstall all parts of an addon the clean way (database, filesystem, phrases... its horrible)

That's nothing to do with XF - that's due to badly coded add-ons.

The only manual action required when uninstalling an add-on is to delete the files from the server.

There has to be a unistallation code setup to remove table/columns , if this uninstallation code is not added then you need to check the installation code in setup.php file and have to remove it manually
