I came here looking to see if the installed modules bug was reported, and see that it was.

Thanks for all you do, Skatezilla.

it is also fixed internally already, as I had integrated a few changes to module scanning that doesn't have the problem of detecting module's manifest files.

Hello, it's seems I'm not able to update from the version 2.0.0.42, Build 3.29.2025 (downloaded from the first post). Looks like it's related to the server status when checking the "Checking Latest Application Versions List":

Thanks

unfortunately, the webserver that the versions file is on for the app itself, is a bit flakey,

I'm in the middle of both holiday extended work hours as well as moving between cities from Apartment to Home over the next month.

Once My rig is in place and everything is setup, and the server rack is re-configured for the new ISP, I will look into some things w/ the webhost the versions file is on, I've used them for DECADES, I think I opened my account w/ them in the 90s. I could be a simple ping address or file path issue, as they sometimes move my site and account storage from one drive/stack to another during routine backup functions and it may shift the pathing a little bit, the website continues the function, but direct links to files need adjustments.

Maybe it would be easier for you to host it as a static page on GitHub or CloudFlare? Less hassle, less infra to worry about,

Hi all, i used to use and love this utility. Does this do anything the native loader doesn't do now? I'd happily revert to this if its better.

the main thing for me , is the ability to launch programs prior to  dcs, i dont use it but also the ability to "manage modules" and repairs more easily and if you use it multiple installations
