if already installed option like in cmsadmin

How does one go about the option to not install the files over again.
I mean like the option in cmsadmin php,when one allready has uploaded the online editor files,
you can set the option to not have it upload again

There is no option for that in the Extension Builder.
However each object does have an option 'Don't publish assets' which basically does the same.

Thought i overlooked something.
Maybe it is an option for the future.
Can be used for galleries too if already published

That is where the 'don't publish assets' option is for.

Yes,
I meant something along the line;
If you change a password setting,you need to reload the whole extension with its assets.
but if there were an option like you created in cmsadmin,
you could simply change some of the options and not have the whole extension publish again.

Yes, but the 'don't publish assets' option already provides this functionality. There is no way (without programming) to publish specific parts of an extension based on one property. That would make a very complex system. In that case you can better use the COM interface to implement your extension.
