Enhancement: directly open config file of mod #42

Closed laundmo closed 5 years ago

laundmo commented 5 years ago

basic idea: simple button that opens the config file in a built-in or default editor.

maybe even show the files as a simple form that limits what a user can enter (correct boolean, no characters where numbers should be etc.)

Definitely something I plan to do in the future. Also a button to open the mods folder in general in case you need to do some manual intervention.

Also after a quick look at the BepInEx config folder it looks like it might not be trivial to infer the config file name from the mod (since that data isn't included in the manifest).

The config files named using Reverse-DNS notation which is up to how the mod author decided to name it. Most seem to follow the pattern of com.{author}.{mod_name} but that can't be guaranteed. Probably if a button gets added it will just try to open a file at the path and give up if it can't find one.

all i can tell you is that all the filenames in my config folder follow the pattern you mentioned, only that com. is sometimes dev. too

com.bepis.r2api.cfg 
com.funkfrog_sipondo.sharesuite.cfg 
com.kookehs.statsdisplay.cfg 
com.kuberoot.autoitempickup.cfg 
com.LukasMods.PermanentMountainChallangecfg 
com.PallesenProductions.TurretsShootRebar.cfg 
com.Tmmeh42.AccuratePings.cfg 
com.Tmmeh42.StealthySpawn.cfg 
dev.felixire.ChestPercantage. cfg 
dev.felixire.Command_Artifact.cfg 
dev.wildbook.multitudes.cfg 
dev.wildbook.toomanyfriends.cfg

if its on any help i threw together a RegEx that matches the config names and has group 1 as author and 2 as name (?:com|dev)\.(.*?)\.(.*?).cfg https://regex101.com/r/2t3Oo3/1/

A right click option has been added to install packages that will search for, and open if found, a config file.

There will be improvements to this system. See #51
