2.4.0alpha5

Collapsible separators

Huge thanks to Holt59 for implementing everything here!

New feature: collapsible separators!

  • Enabled by default when sorting by ascending priority.
    • Disabled when grouping by something else (Nexus ID or Category).
    • Disabled when sorting by descending priority and by any other column.
    • Can be globally disabled in the settings (first tab, "Mod List" group below the old "Download List" group).
  • Mods under separator are not indented on purpose while using collapsible separators.
  • When a separator is collapsed, it will visually reflect its children:
    • The marker on the scrollbar will take the color of the children markers (combined).
    • The background of the separator will take the color of the children markers (combined).
    • The icons in the conflicts column will reflect conflicts from the children (combined).
    • This can be disabled in the settings.
  • When using collapsible separators, the 'Filter Separators' box in the filter list is disabled.

Drag&Drop

Drag&Drop improvements for the mod list:

  • The UI should reflect more appropriately invalid action, e.g. drag&drop while not sorting by priority or trying to drop a file in an invalid mod.
  • The drop indicator now span the whole row instead of only the column.
  • With collapsible separators, you can drop onto a separator (collapsed or not) and the mod will drop at the end of this separator.
  • New drag&drop features:
    • You can now drag&drop from the download list to the mod list to install a mod at a specific priority.
    • You can now drag&drop external archives to the mod list to install a mod at a specific priority from an external file (only if the file is supported by MO2).
    • You can now drag&drop external folder to the mod list to copy them.

Minor

  • Shift+Enter on the mod list will now expand or collapse the current item or its parent when possible (with collapsible separators or in group by).
  • Page Up/Page Down can be used to go to next or previous mod in the information dialog.
    • The previous/next mod action should be fixed for category/nexus grouping.
  • Ctrl+C on the mod list or the plugin list will now copy the names of the selected mods/plugins.

Fixes

  • Running a shortcut to a program when UI locking is disabled should make the mods available correctly (#422)

2.4.0alpha3

Improvements:

  • Add a completely new instance management dialog to switch/create/rename/delete instances.
  • Comes with buttons to explore the paths of an instance and opening the modorganizer.ini file.
  • Instance deletion will now support deleting customized instance paths such as base directory/mods/downloads etc.

    • --multiple: allow running a new MO2 process even if other MO2 processes are already running.
    • Warning! --multiple is unsupported and can create all sorts of weird problems. To minimize these:
        1. never have multiple MO processes running that manage the same game instance;
        1. if an executable is launched from an MO process, only this process may launch executables until all processes are terminated;
        1. it is recommended to close all MO processes as soon as multiple processes become unnecessary.
