fabulously-optimized / vanilla-installer-rust Goto Github PK

The launcher should try to get user's attention (flash the icon on taskbar) when finished or errored. I think it is doable with the same code in all OSes...

In most dropdowns the user can just open the dropdown and press a key on the keyboard to navigate to an element starting with that key. Since this dropdown is not standard, it is not possible here.

Description: I want the icon to be a smaller as the icon on macOS looks out of the ordinary and kinda looks out of place compared to other macOS icons as you can see in the screenshot. What I am suggesting is to make the icon smaller and maybe make it rounded if possible.

Screenshot:

Right after it has downloaded the mods, RPs and config
used the completly default install
Vanilla Launcher not installed and no minecraft dir present

Nothing happens on click, though it does show the tooltip.
Did I break it with #53? But the link itself is correct...

An user suggested that the "for" in the version name could be translated, aka technically something like "{foversion} for {minecraftversion}".

The idea is interesting but that'd mean I cannot describe anything in the names, have to think...

"Automatic theme"/"Dark mode"/"Light mode"

Not the biggest priority at the beginning, but nice to have

The installer should support locales with variants, e.g. Chinese Traditional and Simplified.

Seems unnecessary, and it is not usable anyway

...and detect when the warning is not needed, aka empty folders as described below
Fabulously-Optimized/vanilla-installer-python#80

When the installer has reached the "Fabulously Optimized is installed!", it cannot be closed by normal means.

Ideally with a system-theme detection

Description: I would like a back button to be added to the "Fabulously Optimized is installed!" screen. This could help the user install a different version of FO if they want to.

Maybe it is worth it to use this, have to consider
https://about.signpath.io/product/open-source
Ideally it'd support all OSes then, not just Windows

The file is not created, regardless of whether the folder path is default or customized.
Doesn't seem to negatively affect its function, but considering what we discussed, this seems unintended anyway.

I want a (?) icon next to the version selector that would show a tooltip on hover. Click would open https://fabulously-optimized.gitbook.io/modpack/readme/version-support

The tooltip could show a help text along the lines of:

Vanilla Installer allows easy installation of all supported versions of Fabulously Optimized. For outdated versions, use a different launcher.

Wrong word order, English approximation would be

?folder for this version .minecraft use a different
!install

...installing
(45/49) mods/mod downloading
installed Fabulously Optimized

Either reduce the filesize somehow or at least provide a secondary option with less bundled dependencies:

every resource that the installer needs is either fetched in runtime from modrinth or bundled directly inside ELF
the only reason I use appimage bundles is dynamic libraries

If you try to install the modpack on a random non-Minecraft dir you get this error message:

Not super user-friendly

Similar "os error 3" if the target dir does not exist at all

Not everyone may have the game in the default folder

this is how I intended it:

Checked - filepath/fabulously-optimized-xyz
Unchecked - filepath/

where filepath/ is ~/.minecraft by default but yes, could be anything

Why:

let's say I have two drives, SSD and HDD
all games go to HDD because SSD is smol
so my Minecraft may be in D:/ not C:/
well tbh it doesn't matter where the launcher is
but lets say I keep my .minecraft in HDD as expected
so also the version jars etc
now I do want to install FO on it
and if the installer runs from SSD, it may not find Minecraft at all, hence the folder path
and the checkbox will state whether I want to overwrite contents or put them in subfolder
does that make sense?

I know it's not ready yet and in early dev, but you can keep this issue as a kind of reminder :)

The window doesn't have a minimum resizing limit. allowing for things like

Some users have requested a language switcher menu, besides the OS language detection. Not sure how easy it would be to do and therefore how high would it be in priority.

Because they make no sense

Something like this might be more reasonable
