The ISSUES tab could use some work #63

First I’d like an option to ignore the ‘file type is not supported’ issues from being listed there because one could have a LOT of non-NSP/XCI files etc on the directory that the app is scanning which makes the ISSUES tab super bloated and hard to keep track on other issues. Also would be nice if it could ignore updates that are bundle with the base game (MULTICONTENT file) and stop reporting ‘old update file, newer update exist locally’ since it’s the base game that comes with said update integrated there’s nothing much you can do about it.

I’d also like if the same duplicate files were listed on the same row instead of having multiple entries in different rows (for when we have more than 1 duplicate). Furthermore when you click anything on the ‘File name’ column it opens the folder where the file is on your computer, could you also implement this behavior when we click the ‘Issue’ column? (it would be especially useful for when it detects duplicate files, allowing us not only to open the folder where the original file is but also the folder of the duplicate file, so we can manage them manually as we see fit) It be great if this was added to other tabs too via a mouse right-click or something.

And speaking of duplicates perhaps add a standalone TAB just to report them since duplicates are not an ‘issue’ per se, some people like to keep backups of their files around thus having duplicates willingly.

I wholeheartedly support your suggestion. I have several mods and etc in my games folder and every single file is there. They should not be appearing there in the first place. And scrolling through 150+ pages of "issues" is pretty much a big waste of time, considering most of those aren't issues (file type is not supported) unlike duplicates, missing bases and etc
