What's New
The "Sort" button now opens a full report, similar to what LOOT itself shows. It also contains a detailed log at the bottom, which can be used to diagnose problems. The verbosity of the log is controlled by a new option in the Diagnostics tab of the Settings window. Some of the information from LOOT is also included in the Plugins tab as icons and tooltips, such as missing patches or incompatibilities.
The "MO is locked" dialog that covered the main window while running a program has been replaced with an overlay, which allows for moving and resizing the main window. It should also be more responsive and unlock faster when programs terminate.
Some improvements for the file lists in the Data tab as well as the Conflicts and Filetree tabs in the mod information window:
- In the right-click menu, there's a new "Open/Execute with VFS" entry, which will start the program through Mod Organizer so it can recognize installed mods.
- Items can be double-clicked. The behaviour depends on whether the file is executable or not and on the "Open previews on double-click" option in the General tab of the Settings window.
Every filter now has three states: not included, included, and inverted (shown as "Not"). Clicking a filter cycles through these states. Separators can also be set to always be visible or hidden as well as filtered normally (old behaviour). Added "Tracked on Nexus", "Has valid game data" and "Has Nexus ID". The Filters panel can be opened by clicking the "Filters" button at the bottom left of the mod list.
- Added the "BSA Packer" plugin by PurpleFez to the tools menu. This is a convenient way to package the assets of a mod into BSA/BA2 archives.
- Added preview support for .ini files, .json files, .log files, and .cfg files.
- Added the DDS images preview plugin by AnyOldName3.
- Added the Form 43 plugin checker by AnyOldName3 to Skyrim SE, which shows notifications when a Skyrim LE plugin is detected.
- The message about read-only INI files can now be permanently dismissed.
- The conflict icons in the mod list are now in the their own column so they can be hidden.
- A variety of messages boxes have been reworked to show more information and some basic troubleshooting steps for common errors.
- The Nexus connection box that used to open on startup will now only be visible after the first failure to connect. It will attempt to connect multiple times automatically before showing the "Retry?" message.
- In the Edit Executables window, new programs can now be added by browsing to the file directly or by cloning an existing entry.
- Added two options in the General tab of the Settings window: "Show confirmation when changing instance" and "Always center dialogs".
- The "Cache" and "QtWebEngine" entries in the instance manager are now hidden.
- Fixed a variety of problems with creating and compiling scripts with the Creation Kit as well as some less common errors with the virtual filesystem.
- Fixed a common "invalid index" error when right-clicking a download that is marked as "Pending". Note that "Pending" downloads themselves are typically caused by firewalls blocking Mod Organizer.
- Fixed the "failed to receive data from secondary instance" error.
