throws a security confirmation at me, the previous wip builds did not do that. weird.

the c7e73c9 build has no security issues, and crfs are recognized, so if this cannot be resolved at the moment, I'll just use that. having the columns not completely locked is not a big deal.

github's ability to hide the download links never ceases to amaze me. ah, there we go, https://github.com/pshjt/dmm/actions/workflows/dmm_build.yml

the latest download (Commit 6674dfb) seems to have reverted the changes though? crfs not recognized again. eeeh, I'll just wait until you post the official release.

Wrong PR? This is it: https://github.com/pshjt/dmm/pull/12/checks

- I'm not changing the naming yet again.

Nobody's asking for the name to be changed. It will still be DMM. "Engine" just needs to be capitalized. Having it lowercase looks like a mistake. We want people to have full trust in this thing.

- button already fixed on the branch. Just a different action (action runs for every single commit, just check the PR for up-to-date version)
- I'm not changing the naming yet again.

Wrt new features: I'd wait and see what Nightdive cooks up with the remaster. Hopefully, they have a manager that's ready to add to any install.

Oh, I tested with a mod with other stuff in it. And I wrote "cgf" instead of "crf". Yeah, no editing for me at 10 PM....
Better: https://github.com/pshjt/dmm/actions/runs/8194394885

Apart from that: I don't remember talking about anything else. But I will take a look. Column resizing for example was always specifically disabled. Being able to use double-click is just an oversight. Throwing away all the resize code and replacing it with a min-size check is probably for the better, but it's still ugly.

I like all the file system stuff that the GUI framework provides, but stateful GUIs are such a pain in the ass...

CRF files should be denoted as 'Other'. Works on my machine or smth. What's the minimal example?

This ok?

I hadn't even started.

I'll whip something up...

DMM, and Dark Engine Mod Manager. don't overthink it - SCP is also technically S2CP, the 2 is omitted and nobody cares.

or think "Dark" as an abbreviation of "the Dark Engine". problem solved.

Doesn't matter. Window titles are supposed to be title-cased. Which letters they contribute to their acronym are irrelevant.

"engine" not being capitalized in the title bar looks strange.

aha - the Launch game & exit button, technically this should be Exit and launch game.

yes, I know.

Ok. Anything else?

and maybe some kind of punctuation should be here?

gooood, T1/TG tests coming soon..ish.

Yeah I know this all too well.

I use various programs which can be very easily configured using a text editor by editing some config files. Super easy and straightforward, and in my opinion far easier than using a GUI full of settings (look at the options menu in VLC for a glimpse of hell on earth), but people look at me like some sort of alien when I tell them to add a line to a config file.

yes. that means people having some kind of issue, asking for help here, and then us telling them to click open the log. us telling them to click get the info from the UI makes next to no difference.

Are you seriously equating clicking a button with digging into the file system and copying something specific out of a log dump? Have you met people?

Half the point of the mod manager is to insulate people from ever having to manually mess with files.

my official stance on this is if legacy systems can be supported without an issue, then they should be supported. I will be doing some xp testing a bit later, so I will check.

less is (sometimes) more.

the manager already crates a log file from where the list of mods can be copied to clipboard. same amount of clicks, and less clutter in the interface, imho.

I'd say it's entirely your call spending dev time supporting something that might work in the future.

I just came here to suggest that it would be a handy feature to be able to copy the current list of active mods to the clipboard, so you'd end up with something like:
1. HUD Logs
2. Four Hundred v20U
3. SHTUP-ND beta 1
4. SCP beta 9
etc...

This would save people having to post a screenshot to share their list of currently active mods.

Though at this point, the right side of the screen is getting really full of buttons. Might be a good idea to add a File menu at the top for the rarely-used functions?

It beats having to fiddle with a bunch of bat files and Microsoft's "guess where we hid this particular linker setting" approach to MSVS UI design. I'm from the world of Java, everything related to build tools in C/CPP is like a horror story to me.

I'm still yet to test it in the T1 mode. so no rush on this.

Here's the next version, multi-select included.
Note that I had to touch almost every UX method of the manager, so please test this extensively. If some people have done so, I'll probably do some maintenance work and then the manager is good to go. The code is here: https://github.com/pshjt/dmm/commits/scp_thief_fixes
UNIX/Wine testing is of course welcome.

Known issue: Drag-and-drop is limited to one item as I could not find a method that would work properly in all edge cases unless the list is frozen while dragging, which negates the benefits of drag-and-drop almost entirely.

Testing:

• Item order in table matches order in cam_mod.ini (after apply).
• Changing priority works as expected with any number of selected items: Inactive mods cannot be changed. Priority cannot be increased above 1 or decreased below last active mod.
• Activate/deactivate works with one selected, several selected (consecutive, from different parts of table), and mix of active/paused/inactive mod. Active should become inactive, paused should become inactive, inactive should become active. Activated mods are sorted to top of table (as before).
• Pause/Unpause works with one selected, several selected, mix of paused/unpaused (see above). Paused mods become unpaused, unpaused mods become paused. Inactive mods should stay inactive. Order does not change.
• Delete works as expected.
• Drag-and-drop works as expected with only one item.
• Tooltips always refer to the correct mod.
• Status bar always refers to the correct mod.
• Hotkeys work as expected.
• Perform the checks while you're trying to move items as fast as possible.

What exactly do you mean "snooping"?
