Re: New Version of the modlauncher
 

Ok
Completely fixed.
Now as well, as was originally intended, when new mods / savegames appear in the list it will keep your original selection.

Re: New Version of the modlauncher
 

woo-hoo!

one note though, the refresh thing makes it dificult to edit the info in the modinfo text through the interface. it tends to refresh during typing. of course, the txt can still be edited on its own, and the functionality through the interface is certainly better than nothing.

Thanks for the updated Version!

Re: New Version of the modlauncher
 

Unfortunately this is very much a "Lesser of two evils" thing.
I think that, as suggested, your best bet is to edit in notepad, or copy and paste from another editor.

Re: New Version of the modlauncher
 

Couldn't you have it refresh only if there hasn't been a mouse movement or button press within 10 seconds or so?

That would help to avoid refreshing while people are typing...
You could also not refresh while a text box has the focus.

Re: New Version of the modlauncher
 

Or refresh at a lower rate (like 5-10 min. or so). There's a statistically lower chance of being hit by it (unless you're me). Include a refresh button for impatient people. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon7.gif

Re: New Version of the modlauncher
 

Ahh.. well to prevent problems with refreshing the directory list (you can hot swap mods on the fly) it calls the reselection function on the list.
Because of the way delphi works I can't change the way it reselects the item in the list to "not call" this refreshing function.
I can however increase the duration of the refresh, which I will tomorrow night.
