Add option for mods that "will be removed" to move them into a My Mods folder instead
Opened this issue · 8 comments
Feature
For mods that get flagged for removal during a mod update, allow the user to specify that they instead be moved into a folder called "My Mods" rather than deleting them.
Optionally: if the mod's file name starts with text between square brackets, move the mod into a subfolder inside My Mods whose name is that text. For example, if I have a mod called [anse] jnco_pants v3.8.1.zipmod, then it would be moved into a folder called anse inside My Mods.
Why this Would Be Nice
It's not obvious that we're supposed to put mods we downloaded into a separate folder to keep Chikarin from wanting to nuke them. This would mostly just be a usability (especially for new users) and quality-of-life feature.
I think an easier fix would be to put a 'Do not put zipmods into Modpack folders.txt` file or similar inside the mods folder.
A question. I do the MyMods things myself, however, I notice files being deleted and I usually check on them.
Sometimes I see that there is a newer version, so deleting the previous version makes sense.
I have also others being transferred from one category to another.
But I also see some being deleted, and no newer version, and go to check and see that an entire folder is being deleted (usually with few mods) and stuff.
At least there is a way to find duplicates (HS2FND), so after saving the files to be deleted, I use that to find the duplicates/older versions, and delete the non Sideloader Modpack version
@ssj4maiko This would be a question for maintainers, usually it's either the mod being replaced with a different mod that includes it, or being removed on a request of the author.
I'll see about detecting that the mod is removed because of a newer version and display that in the interface.
The fix to detecting updated zipmods I mentioned is included in https://github.com/IllusionMods/KKManager/releases/tag/v1.3.1
Oh, so that's why last time I checked there were a bunch of delete only files after I had updated it fully.
I'll check each case individually once I'm able to.
Finally had the time to check on it, I confirmed that the items selected to be removed were not duplicates. They were items from:
[g7o827]
Liangpi
Lurki
ROC
TheAlex and Blake
I suppose these authors have removed these items themselves then?
That or requested removal I guess, it's a question for https://github.com/BetterRepack/SideloaderModpackTracker/issues
