Is there any chance you make the plugin so that when you update moodle it automatically downloads the plugin as part of the upgrade? This would save so much time as currently when you upgrade it just says, "Additional Missing from disk!". Thank you so much.

Not within my power. Please raise a MDLSITE issue on the Moodle Tracker.... Or it could be a core enhancement, so an MDL.

Re: Adaptable Upgrade and Update
That's not a plugin feature Al, and is also very dependent on how you carry out your upgrades. It is certainly possibly to use a git script to update all code as well as core Moodle on an upgrade (I use a bash script, others use git sub-modules, and I'm sure there are other ways). However, that can be complicated. Your suggestion that Moodle (core) could automatically update the plugins as well as the core code is a good one, but as Gareth points out in his reply, would be a core enhancement on Moodle Tracker rather than something an individual plugin can achieve.
I know that (I believe for Moodle 4.0) HQ have been looking at how the plugins database works, and this may be a feature they would consider looking closely at as part of that development.
