mod exploration menu : mods per page setting.

Post by Rafiz »

I don't like all changes to mod explorer, but that's just me being grumpy.

But one problem is bigger and breaks my flow. I'm used (from 1.1) to scrolling down through mods and reading their names, picking ones that sound like something I want along the way... But with new menu I must click new page every so often... Having to jump out of scrolling and reading mode and moving pointer to button "next page" every 5 seconds is supper inconvenient and slows down entire process a lot (maybe even by 50%)

I couldn't find any setting to change the number of mods per page, there seems to be no hotkey to go to next page, and when I keep mouse over "next page" button - I can not scroll down at the same time. And I also tried new workflow idea - pressing down arrow, while hovering mouse over next-page : but once you click next page down arrow no longer goes to next mod.
it's just ... Unfixable inconvenience apparently... I don't know what else can I do on my part to fix my flow to be nearly as convenient as it was in 1.1

My suggestion/idea would be to add option to just have mod explorator without pages and it would maybe take some time to read all mod descriptors like in 1.1 but once it did there's no interruptions (it's anyway surprising how slowly next pages are loading, as in 1.1 I could get all mods loaded in 2 seconds and in 2.0 "next page" with just 20 mods loads for 0.5-1.0 second (probably because of icons(?) there was no icons in 1.1 until you clicked..). Or there could be option to tweak "x mods per page" and I would set it to 100'000, or 1000.... I would much rather take break for minute for [ALL] mod thumbnails to load than deal with that page clicking :/

Or there could be option "compact view" that would not show thumbnails, just mod titles. I liked 1.1 menu so much more...

Having description under mod name is also not convenient. A lot of text lines my eyes have to skip before there's next mod title...
