Virustotal results for v0.6.5 executable: https://www.virustotal.com/gui/file/c97a09b2effb2e59fdeb74a3ec4b09ca5f89e7c0e448f480417269d75a833c16/detection
Your virus definitions must be out of date or your system is giving a false positive. Alternatively your system may already be infected with a virus which then injected itself into the zEdit executable after you downloaded it.
Please post your questions as a separate issue or ask in the Modding Tools Discord.
Actually one issue and several questions. The issue is that Kaspersky detects a generic trojan in the exe and deletes it. Not sure if your download has been hacked or if it is a false positive.
Questions: First some background, I just found this software because someone mentioned it near the top of the Merge Plugins page at the top of the comments where I was about to post. I am developing a tool that is used to easily manage large sets of mods along with MO2 and I have included functionality to interact with Merge Plugins by accessing the json files and modifying them directly so that loading old merge sets to change and update them isn't necessary anymore.
Now that I have found zMerge I am wondering about how it compares to Merge Plugins and whether or not it keeps track of merges and mod errors (in a json or similar files). Overall I much prefer the focused Application interface of Merge Plugins to a script interface which is essentially an addon to another application (such as zEdit and xEdit). Does zMerge provide significant advantages over Merge Plugins? Does either application support command line and/or argument based operations with regard to performing merges?
