neosmodmanager's Issues

mod with a non standard name behave weirdly

I have a mod in my mods folder called ReArmature (1).dll, the mod manager detects the mod just fine, but trying to disable the mod will not do anything (not even a message in the log saying it tried to disable it or an error that would actually say what happened)

trying to update that mod, doesn't delete the original dll either so you end up with 2 dlls ReArmature (1).dll (the old version) and ReArmature.dll the new version created by the manager

allow installing old versions

maybe through the right click menu, you never know when you need an old version of a mod

[Feature Request] Add ability to sort by whether mod is installed or not.

title says all

iTrackerFix mod downloads file with wrong hash compared to manifest

This is strange because if you download the mod file directly from GitHub it has the correct hash, but downloading it through the mod manager gives a file with the wrong hash. So I think the mod manager is changing this file somehow to give it a different hash.

Also the mod does not appear checked in the mod manager after downloading it.

Built-in Updater

Looking at possibly using NetSparkle

change EROR to ERROR in the logs

I assume it's EROR so that it lines up nicely with other messages, but I think it would actually be better for errors stand out a bit since they are usually meant for when something breaks, and it means the word is actually spelled correctly too

Setting the Neos install path doesn't automatically refresh the installed mods

The mod manager had to be restarted for the installed checkmarks to appear next to mods

it's unclear what the checkbox on mods means

it would be nice to have a header saying "enabled" on that part of the table

search query resets when checking for updates

whenever you type anything into the search, and then click Check for Updates it shows all the mods in the list again, instead of only the ones filtered by the search query

non-manifest mods flood the logs too much

I would say only displaying those messages once at the start of the app would be fine, makes the log super difficult to read when you have 22 non-manifest mods (I checked, that's exactly how many I have)

add progress bar or something

when I install an update I have no idea what's going on, the mod is displaying as not installed, but it is actually installing.
there is no way to know if the installation has failed so I'm just waiting there clicking the check for updates button hoping it shows up as installed and up to date

subdirectory support

NeosModLoader will load mods located in subdirectories, but the mod manager will not detect mods located in subdirectories.
Ideally when updating a mod located in a subdirectory, it will stay in that directory for organization purposes.
(personally I don't use this or care for it at all but someone else might so it's worth considering)

[Bug] UI appears broken at high display resolution/scale

I downloaded NeosModManager 0.3.1, and upon opening it the UI entered a broken state. I cannot confirm with 100% certainty display resolution/scaling is the issue, but I bring it up as other applications on my PC have been affected by this. I should note downscaling doesn't seem to change this particular application.

Either way, I'm opening this issue in case any other users encounter something similar. I'll post updates here as I find them. Here are some screenshots of my mod manager for reference and some relevant specs:

• Windows Version: Windows 11 Pro 22H2
• Device: Asus Zenbook Duo
• Graphics: i7-12700H, Intel Iris Xe Integrated Graphics/RTX 3060 Laptop GPU

Interface freezes while building the initial mod list

The window was unresponsive after relaunching the mod manager after setting the neos path and such.

I assume this was caused by scanning the mod folder or downloading the manifest file.
