It seems every time the translation package is updated, it breaks the existing version

[JMPZ11]

So far, every time the model has changed, it breaks the spriggit UI with very confusing errors (Object of type 'Mutagen.Bethesda.Plugins.ModPath' cannot be converted to type 'Mutagen.Bethesda.Plugins.ModPath'.)

I typically have to hunt down the assembly caches and delete the whole thing to get it working again... if it even will.

Is there any chance you could distribute a version that has the translation package(s) bundled; and has the option to not auto-update?

(I am unable to add new mappings with the new UI, so kinda stuck again)

[Noggog]

What version of the CLI/UI are these logs from?

[JMPZ11]

This was using the UI version of 0.20.0 -- but I get this same error I believe every time the translation package is updated.

The solution as mentioned, required hunting down dotnet's randomly named per-app assembly cache for Spriggit and deleting everything (or downloading a new version to a new folder)

Or, in this case, I was able to get around it by changing it from "latest" to 0.20.0,

I keep spriggit in a folder on my desktop (It's that valuable 😊) And have only used the GUI so far. When I can trust that updated models won't break it (and it can write compressed cells - SF kinda requires it I think), I'd like to use it to establish a solid dev pipline.

This is why I keep pestering, and I hope I'm not coming across as pushy or anything... just trying to fulfil the dream lol

Just added another mechanism for backwards compatibility. Let's reopen if it keeps having issues
