[67435a94bd78avoodoo47]

ah, forgot to post a request here - any chance of detecting mods with dmls (*.dml), and adding a dml tag if detected?

[67435a94bd8a6bluemess]

Ok, will look into it.

[67435a94bd9cfbluemess]

DMLs detection.

This worked in 1.06 too FYI

This worked in 1.06 too FYI

In 1.06 you had to click Select game folder..., and then click OK (it was already pointing to SS2 folder). In 1.07 this step is not necessary. Come to think of it, it's not a feature worth advertising, but well, I mentioned it.

[67435a94be302Primitive Primate]

Ah, you got me. Great update nevertheless, as usual.

[67435a94be3f9voodoo47]

dml detect looks ok.

[67435a94be507bluemess]

which column order is the least bad?

[ColumnOrder.png expired]

[67435a94be8a1Olfred]

What about
#, Name, Status, Type?
And maybe you could colour the "Active" to green and the other to red.
Or even better, make the background colour of the coloum into a light green and light red.

[67435a94be9f9Kolya]

Being able to order the columns would be the best of course. Short of that I'd go with order 1. 
For background colouring of active/inactive mods I would prefer white/lightgrey.
Red/Green is a garish combination that will make any app look cheap.

[67435a94beb3abluemess]

Added 4th option, as per Olfred's suggestion.

I've deactivated/paused some mods to show difference. Inactive/paused mods are grayed out. Inactive mods are always at the bottom of the list.

Yeah, custom ordering might be the best, but I don't want to get into that right now.

[67435a94bec4bOlfred]

And you also need to start with a standard order most of the people will just stay with.
Even when it is possible to sort them.

[67435a94bed3aPrimitive Primate]

I go for custom order too

[67435a94bee6fbluemess]

Hard choice.

[67435a94bef5ePrimitive Primate]

No excessive use of colors please

[67435a94bf08fOlfred]

I was talking more about light coloured, not about burning-your-eyes-away coloured.

But yeah, going with a grey looks more mature, just like Kolya said


Also... Woohoo, I see my name on there!
