Treat mod directory similar to map directory #36

Closed poperigby closed 3 years ago

poperigby commented 3 years ago

I have a few mods that I load almost every time, and it's a bit tedious to have to add them one-by-one through the file selection menu. The map directory has a good way of handling it, where each map in the directory is shown automatically and you select the one you want. I think the mod directory could be handled in a similar way, but instead of selecting one map, you can click the checkbox next to the mod.

The problem with this approach is that when you display a content of a directory and just add checkboxes in front of them, then you can't change the order of loading, because in the directory they are always sorted alphabetically.

because in the directory they are always sorted alphabetically.

Can you make it not sort alphabetically?

I've already tried this approach long time ago in a predecessor called DoomModLauncher obrazek It ended up as disaster, it caused more issues than it solved and people who tried it didn't like it.

I'm sorry, but i won't do this one. You can ease up repetitive adding of mods by drag&drop from file manager.

Fair enough. Being able to load entire directories will make it easier.
