HadToRegister Posted August 27, 2018 Posted August 27, 2018 OK, I've now learned about the "Manage Rules" pop up and its usefulness, especially for my purposes, however, can the pop-up be made a little bigger so that the Drop Down Menus can be made wider to show more of the Mod names? Right now because the drop down menu for "Select Plugin" is so skinny, I have this (I know I can drag from side-to-side, however, in a drop down menu that can be pretty tricky without mis-clicking and closing the menu by accident.

Grestorn Posted August 27, 2018 Posted August 27, 2018 Did you really make a rule for all of these? Why? I'm pretty sure that Loot autosorts the base mods before all of its patches, doesn't it? And if it really doesn't, I'da) inform the LOOT guys (because this has to be fixed in the masterlist) andb) I'd just put the Base Mod into a group which is sorted before the Default group. And voilà! In any case, I absolutely agree on your request to improve the UI.

In any case, I absolutely agree on your request to improve the UI. No, I didn't make a rule for all of these.I never said I did, I'm not sure why you even assumed that from what I wrote.I just compiled a list of mods that get their names truncated as an example of what you see, vs the actual full mod name. I was merely explaining that when opening up the "Manage Rules" window, and opening up the drop-down menu, the names of mods longer than 22 characters gets truncated, while there is a slider to slide sideways in the list, it makes the list prone to closing due to any mis-clicks, which makes it an extra hassle, (currently) to work with the load order, and navigate, which in turn, makes me not want to use the "Manage Rules" window because of not being able to quickly identify and use rules for mods with long names. The idea of the Manage Rules window is great, and I would probably end up using it quite A LOT, but right now it needs the mod drop down made much wider to accommodate mods with longer names, thus making it easier, and faster to navigate.
Tannin42 Posted August 28, 2018 Posted August 28, 2018 Yeah, I'll look into making that wider. I remember being annoyed by that myself but forgot to do something about it... :sleep:

HadToRegister Posted August 28, 2018 Author Posted August 28, 2018 Can the Plugins Tab get the "Manage Rules" for the plugins as well?That would be handy
Tannin42 Posted August 29, 2018 Posted August 29, 2018 Not sure what you mean? "Manage Rules" exists only on on the plugins tab and is only for plugins!?

My mistake, I meant Mods tabIT's so handy on the Plugins tab, it could be handy on the MODS tab as well.Although, clicking on the lightning bolts does seem to open up a similar dialog, but the Manage Rules dialog might be even better for the Mods tab as well
