Improved in-game E-shop module maintenance

[Worrazen]

The ingame module management in the future should be updated.

 

The free periods have shown there's a need for this, even tho it's not a big deal for me, it would avoid all the unnecessary "how to install module" threads.

 

 

• 1.A: When starting a fresh DCS session the in-game E-Shop Icon's "Red colored new modules sub-icon" could have an initial larger circular flash-effect across the top of the main menu to get more attention initially in the first moment when the E-Shop auto-detects new available content, then it would slowly blink without any distracting flash-effect or a significantly minor one;
  
• 1.B: After either going out of Main Menu to other menus, entering the E-Shop and acknowledging the new modules (no special user action necessary, you entered it you just seen it 99.9%), or after entering mission editor or playing a mission and then returning to the Main Menu, the in-game E-Shop Icon's "Red colored new modules sub-icon" would stay lit just like now and not blink.
   
   
  
• 2: The current "New Modules Popup Dialog" would be replaced by a dedicated Available Modules page in the E-Shop, complete with the following buttons and actions: Refresh button to clear local cache and sync/refresh with the remote online ED Server for a list of available modules for your account, Discard Selection button for discarding checkmarked available modules, Chec/Unchek All button, Apply Now button to exit DCS and download/install selected modules and an Apply Later (or Schedule For Next Boot) button to defer the selected installations to when you later quit or restart DCS.
   
   
  
• 3: The installed modules page would be upgraded to support queueing and selecting multiple modules to uninstall at once, immedately or later, similarly to how it works on the installation(available modules) page. Currently you can only uninstall one module at a time ... and restard DCS each time, uninstalling 30 modules could take an hour if you count the time that you spend idling when you do something else because I presume an average person wouldn't give this procedure 100% focus at all times.
  

 

 

If something similar is already in the works then great, doesn't have to be exacly like this.
