Hi, thank you for your work. I really like your mod manager. I am trying to use it as a general mod manager (for non bethesda games). Here are few issues / suggestions:

limo-app commented 3 days ago
  • please add "install new mod" button in addition to drag n drop

I'm planning to add a menu bar which will contain this among other things.

  • drag and drop archives from outside the home mount point does not work (probably flatpak related)

By default the flatpak version can access files in ~/, /mnt, /media, /run/media and the flatpak steam directory in home. If the files you are trying to add is not in one of those locations, you could try giving Limo access by using a tool like Flatseal.

  • support to uncheck files manually from mod during install (for example readme.txt, or detect those automatically)

I'm planning to add user defined installation rules in the future. Rules will include the automatic deletion and renaming of files matching user defined patterns.

  • reinstall mod does not remember selected root level value

Good point, i will add this. Probably in 1.10.

  • add button to hide tools pane for games which do not need it

Not sure about this one. I may add a tab to the settings that allows users to toggle visibility of some UI elements and table columns.

  • give option for one parent directory and auto create all staging dirs below it

This is planned in form of a path in the settings dialog.

  • add conflict column with values yes/no

Are you referring to the Deployers tab? If so then i don't think this is needed, as this information is already visible in the form of colored text. If you are referring to the Mods tab: This is not planned as this tab is not supposed to show conflicts/ load order.
