ai_external.js auto create on updates?

    Every time the plugin gets updates, ai_external.js disappears. That is understandable, as it is generated within the plugin area.

    Firstly, generated files should *not* be placed here. There is a wp-content directory that is writable for putting generated and temporary files into. The plugins folders should be assumed to be *not* writeable by the web service (regardless of whether most installs of fastcgi makes *everything* writeable by the web service, sigh). So, create a directory under wp-config for this plugin, and use that.

    As an alternative, if there is an insistence of generating the ai_external.js file under the plugin area, why not generate it automatically after each plugin update? Not doing so breaks the site.

    This is on my todo list for 6.6 already.
    There the file will be generated when it does not exist when the plugin is called.

    The problem with an extra folder is that that file need to be generated at each update as otherwise the update can break and also because of backward compatibility!

    I already have custom folder introduced in 6.5 for created files but moving this file will break many, many installs.

    So for 6.6 I will generate the file if it does not exist.

    Best, Michael
