[Windows] Vivaldi Mod Manager

NeoCortex

@goldnoway Maybe bottom buttons will be replaced with toolbar which can make group operations like "edit/delete/enable/disable selected" easier. About multi-tab editor - it requires huge code rewriting. Personally I like this idea. For example: I can make tabs looks exactly like Vivaldi tabs, with accent color which will be chosen based on file type (js - red, css - light blue, or something like that). But it requires huge code rewriting, also code editor was created only for fast little edits, so, I'll see what I can do. But don't expect this feature soon.
About zebra-like list - it can require so much attention so that might doesn't worth it. Seems like WPF limitation, or I just doesn't know how to implement this.
I made feature request for that.

@neocortex Unfortunately Mod Manager seems to crash with latest snapshot
"The invocation of the constructor on type 'VivaldiModManager.MainWindow' that matches the specified binding constraints threw an exception."

I noticed that once installed 2.1.1328.4, I could not use the migration tool, as it didn't let me choose 2.1.1322.4 as source.
The directory ".vivaldimods\2.1.1322.4" is still there.
The Versions box on the left doesn't show anymore 2.1.1322.4 as the version is physically removed after the update leaving only the new one.
Luckily I made a zip backup of my mods and using the restore button it added all my mods to the current version.

On another test pc (win10 64bit this time) i got the same error as @GoldNoway
I deleted the VivaldiModManager.xml in the same dir as VivaldiModManager.exe to be sure it would start from scratch.
Then I moved manually the content of
Vivaldi\Application\.vivaldimods\2.1.1322.4" to
Vivaldi\Application\.vivaldimods\2.1.1328.4", then removed .vivaldimods\2.1.1322.4 as now it became useless.
After restarting VivaldiModManager.exe it has all the mods selected but
Vivaldi\Application\2.1.1328.4\resources\vivaldi\user_mods
is not populated with the css\ and js\ dirs remaining empty.
I had to delete
Vivaldi\Application\2.1.1328.4\resources\vivaldi\user_mods
and then by unchecking and re-checking the 2.1.1328.4 version the user_mods\ dir got repopulated correctly, and Vivaldi got injected correctly with all my mods.

@ian-coog You're lucky, the same error is still there for me, even after moving the folder's contents and deleting the xml file

@ian-coog UI bug in migration tool. Actually, you able to select previous version, but it's tricky because of bug. I'm trying to fix it right now because I faced same issue

@GoldNoway after update Vivaldi updater erases previous version, but this process is not instantaneous. It's better to wait half of minute before running mod manager. I'm not sure how it can be handled. But it must work properly after removing previous version. Do you have two version directories in Vivaldi\Application?

GoldNoway

@neocortex Thanks, deleted the previous folder and all mods are back in place

NeoCortex

@goldnoway glad to hear that
Looks like it's better to have backup of installed mods. Utility is in early stage, alpha maybe.

For example: migration tool worked flawlessly for me after update to newer version. I only faced UI bug, which can be bypassed by pointing to bottom of checkbox (and it will not lose focus). It happened because label above versions list became to big, and it's partially covered checkbox. I'm working on another fix for updates (just to prevent crashes).

NeoCortex

New version with fixes already here.
Thanks for bug reports!

@neocortex
Perfect. I updated Vivaldi, then updated VivaldiModManager.exe 0.2.5, migration succeeded - I also checked delete source - and new version is patched successfully.

GoldNoway

Found some missed strings:
Mod editor: Éditeur de mods
Enter file name here: Entrez ici le nom du fichier

Btw, another suggestion: Right click menu on editor with cut/copy/paste

NeoCortex

@goldnoway added in TODO.

Hi NeoCortex,
I downloaded/installed your VivaldiModManager software, now all I have to do is learn how to use it, is there any form of a 'help' file available ? Also, at least for me..I don't see any .exe file available so I can open up the software.
Thanks,
David

GoldNoway

Btw @NeoCortex, some more feature requests for the editor if you don't mind:
... Well the first shouldn't be hard to do. When saving a file, I don't know if ctrl+S is a valid shortcut. There should be a small icon displaying somewhere (and ctrl+S should be a valid shortcut if it isn't already the case)
Second, there really should be a ctrl+F feature.

And that's it, don't think the editor would need more. Thanks

@Davy49 That's curious, every release had a .exe in the zip, are you sure about this?

@goldnoway

I don't see an exe in the zip either

there is an exe in the zip, there must be something interfering on your system.
Also the file is perfectly valid with no sign of infection, see this report

Hi,
I surely wasn't implying there was any kind of infection in the files, I just downloaded the 'zip' file once again on a different computer. After extracting the file's contained in the zip file..I still don't see any 'exe' file.

@davy49

ha, I see what the problem is (for me anyway). I was downloading the wrong zip. Gitlab isn't as clear as Github though the zip is in the same place. Check right under the changelog rather than the download button on the side which is only giving the source

iAN CooG

How do you miss the correct download is beyond me. On the first post NeoCortect clearly indicated "You can download it here" and the link on the word here goes to:
https://gitlab.com/Neur0toxine/vivaldimodmanager/tags
Click on the VivaldiModManager.zip link and you're done.

Davy49

@sjudenim ,
I agree with you, that corrected the issue for me as well, now all I have to do is figure out how to actually use the software.
