Greetings
The request is for the B4x Libraries Google Sheet to include 4 extra columns for URL links for the actual library files for each of the platforms, for example B4a File Link, B4i File Link, b4j File Link and b4r File Link. These links will point to the actual files for the libraries and anyone updating their library details can provide the URL links.
Background
Aeric has developed the Additional Libraries Downloader and for it to work it needs a libs.json file which should contain the actual URL link of the file as demonstrated below.
The libraries list has a Forum Link, which points to the Forum Thread of that library and not the actual file. This enables one to manually download the library from that link.
What will this solve?
Adding the 4 extra columns provides an extra functionality so that tools like the libs.json can work properly when generator tools of such file as used. A good example is this libs.json generator tool I am working on here.

As the actual url links per platform can be read from the b4x libraries if provided, the libs.json file can be easily generated directly from the b4x libraries list.
Thanks in advance.

SithasoDaisy2: Let's create a Libs.json Generator for Aeric's Additional Libraries Downloader
Hi Fam Use Tool hosted on PocketHost Aeric has created an amazing tool to download Additional Libraries. This however needs a libs.json file for it to work. A sample of that file has been created on his post...
