wowmatrix worked. this does not. at least for 10.4 and curse has no plans on fixing the issues.

1) Wow matrix modifys the addons after you download them. It adds a file called wow matrix.dat and modifys the toc interface numbers. That's why they've been marked as "Dirty". The checksums don't match anymore

2) www.wowinterface.com/.../showpost.php

if they had given people advanced warning the wowmatrix team would of done what they have done before. Which is hack past their protections. They couldn't risk either site going down on patch day. Load up either site . Notice how snappy and responsive they are ? That is directly because they don't have to deal with wowmatrix scrapping the server.

re: marking the directories as "Dirty"

WoWMatrix drops a file in each directory it scans named WoWMatrix.dat. This is probably what tripped the Curse client marking it as dirty.

Similarly, the gimpy/unsupported WOWInterface Updater will drop the ZIP files of addons into the addon directory. This will also cause the Curse client to mark them as "dirty"
