Suggestion: Mod info loads in a new panel to the right of the main panels

[0x6A7232]

You have the tabs to the left, mods install / uninstall etc in the middle, drag n drop at the bottom, how about a panel to the right that can either display from the Nexus mod page, or perhaps cache that info upon download?

 

Useful for getting an idea of what the mod's requirements and in general what the mod is if the title isn't descriptive enough or there are multiple mods with similar titles.

That panel is already there. Double click on any mod on the Mod Page. Also, be sure to click on "Guess ID" if the mod ID is not displayed in the panel.

YOu mean like this?

That feature could be better self-documenting. It's not at all obvious that double-clicking in a certain region (only) of a given row will accomplish that. Further, unlike the left sidebar, when the right detail sidebars are collapsed there is no visual indication that there is "something else out there" that is currently hidden.

You can double click anywhere that isn't a button for something else. (So not either end of the row or the endorse icon)

 

I will agree it isn't all that clear that you can open the details pane. Do you have any suggestions for how to make it better?

It needs some sort of a visual cue to its existence and collapsed state, similar to what the left nav sidebar has, except that in this instance the visual cue will be the entire cue since the right sidebar fully collapses unlike the left. It could be a very narrow frame along the right margin with an interactive flattened arrow in it... a very common tactic. Even better might be to permanently preserve the arrow that already exists to collapse the sidebar, instead leaving it visible in some fashion 100% of the time, as is the one for the left sidebar (though that never collapses fully). A compromise of a bit of real estate might be necessary, but I'd argue that it's a necessary compromise.

Same goes with using CTRL+A to open up the hidden menu that pops up from the bottom as well.

I suggested a more in depth manual, but Tannin doesn't believe in Manuals, so SOMETHING needs to be added to the Interface to clearly indicate about the Hidden Right Panel, and the Hidden Bottom Menu

Uh-oh, something else that I didn't discover through simple experimentation....
