Feature suggestion for MO.

[CovertSlinky]

I would like to see a capability of MO being able to use the "Hide" feature on UN-extracted bsa's. Ok, I mind tells me this should be possible of sorts, since MO can already look inside and un-extracted bsa and report conflicts to the user. Seeing how there mods in the STEPguide stating tho the user to "Hide" certain files. If you are one of those users who has a hdd and could benefit performance wise from using bsa instead of loose files, you would run into the problem of being restricted from that feature. Granted I have not actually verified if any of the mods in STEP that suggest hiding, are mods that come bsa packaged, as I am still going through it myself atm. But, even if not, I think that having this feature, if possible, would be extremely beneficial. So, can it be done?

 

Regards,

Slink

 

Edit/Update: Ok, finally posted the topic at bug tracker, I meant to the other day when I said I was going to, but got side-tracked. So, it's where it belongs.

Feature requests should be requested on Tannin's Bug Tracker here: https://issue.tannin.eu/tbg/modorganizer/issues/open

 

I've been wanting to see this feature for a good while. There aren't any mods in STEP that need BSA extraction for hiding files...yet. Though STEP isn't in need of it at this point, I'm sure we will be eventually and I'm sure some users could utilize it now in their personal setups.

Sorry about posting here, I wasn't sure when I did, I looked at the post that had associated links for MO, and wasn't sure, I actually didn't even consider the bug tracker being the appropriate place. Regardless, I am now going to the link in your post to put it where it belongs, unless there is already a post about it.

 

Also, yes I did finally make it through the guide again to see that there wasn't any need for extraction to hide a file. But your thoughts, like-wise, believe there can be significant use for it, I have a couple mods (personal addition) that I needed to be left extracted, so I could utilize the hide feature. Luckily the mods were relatively small, so I am pretty sure that there shouldn't be any significant difference.

You could extract, modify, reBSA it with archive.exe.

That is a good point, I'll have to keep that in mind, tyvm.
