Minor suggestion for user interface

The backend is fine, but we can present it anyway we want to right?

As long as it is an improvement

The current mod selection screen is obviously one of those parts which were meant to have something working as soon as possible and make it easy to see if something goes wrong, a tiny step up from text files. In early development this is how it goes. That doesn't mean there isn't a lot of room for improvement or that it was built with the end user as first priority even.

Some features I'd like to see as well:

• Allow adding mods via filebrowser
• Allow adding mods from a git repo uri
• Show if a mod was signed by wfg or other trusted party and successfully verified

The backend has issues as well, should force disable all reverse dependent mods on mod upgrade, guess we'd loose a lot less users that way.

You can drag and drop in the window

Adding a git client in the game sounds messy. Especially with MFA, ssh keys and other niceties

How would we know third party ?

That's very not obvious

If a git client is installed just call git clone if not complain that the user needs to install git to use this feature. Mostly meant to make it easy for users to share mods via github for instance.

You don't, the user will have to. Users can add keys they trust, you only ship the wfg one.

I mean it's a nice feature with so many edge cases ^^ like what if it clones a git windows line endings on linux. But definitely cool

Sounds doable to add more in the config. Not sure we support lists but could be .1 .2. .n  Might be quite easy to do.

Probably not hence the pyromod extension I suppose.
