Add a button to the source/destination properties to help with choosing path.

Add a general testing framework.

Currently it's building to a folder, change the build to one-file.

Refactor the node tree to use Qt's standard items instead, in order to simplify the search operations.

Allow users to reorder specific nodes (Pattern, Install Step)

Grab a more colourful logo set.

Refactor text into an actual property. On import/export parse and write it into the element's actual text.

Add colour management for users and change grouping to tabs (vertical?)

At least to 80%, ideally to 90%.

Add a simple text editor to all line edits. Add special html formatting editors to displayed descriptions with a warning that formatting may not work in all mod managers.

Improve code readability - refactor methods that contain no logical into signals.

For example, several pattern nodes are usually used with no way to distinguish them.

Add a right-click context menu for TreeView:

include delete object, expand all nodes.

Add a recent files menu.

Process

1. User open 1 project.
2. Close all components.
3. Open another project.

Expected result

Re-opened components.

Current result

Error message, see screen.

Closed components error screenshot

Clean up unnecessary defined exceptions.

Currently using build 332.
After investigating one of the issues that I have experienced it appears to have been reported in issue #48

I found that setting on of the type descriptors to "recommended" seems to cause this issue.
Turning preview refresh to "On Refresh" seems to alleviate this issue. It appears that when the box in the preview is ticked, the focus is drawn to the option instead of remaining on the input field.

Add a view menu to control widget appearance.

Get tox working with vagrant/conda/pyenv and move docs requirements out of main reqs.txt

Per request, opening a new ticket.
Changed the Preview Refresh Rate from On Property Editing to On Node Select, but the preview window is still updated with each change in the property editor. A restart of the utility did not change behavior.

Add order to properties to improve workflow.

Add comments as child nodes to elements that require metadata. (user sort order, user naming, etc.)

Add the ability to add comments in the tree.

Add a check for updates option at startup.

Refactor the node's text into a full property. With this, you'll be able to apply order and give a different label to the text.

Currently name and email are pre-set in vagrant default. Remove and provide a way to get user input.

Provide a full preview - all the install steps, with results in each page and a preview of the mod root folder at the end.

Metadata cannot be added to nodes that do not allow text or children. At least one of those is needed.

Be able to customize the title of each object node for easier ID. Maybe default it to the node's name.

Provide 32bit builds for windows at least.

Recent Files are broken in the intro screen and causing rare crashes.

Add undo functionality + history.

Can't remove objects during deque iteration, remove them after

Properties with combo boxes are not being properly set.

Grab a better executable icon.

Design a help system.

Shortcuts for the toolbar actions are not working.

Add simple tutorial. Modal dialog with transparent background on top of main window, same dimensions.

Add sorting to the xml elements or they might not validate on export.

Add a default section to settings where users can change common default values on attributes.

Add autocompletion to:
flagDependency,
fileDependency,

Add a preview to the install steps (the visible installer).

Add a prefix to each type of object node.

Text field inputs at levels below GROUP loose their focus after a single character. Causing one to re-click on the text field to enter the next character. Fields tested were the Plugin name and the plugin's Description.

Context

In testing out the latest stable version, I attempted to re-create an existing FOMOD installer of one of my mods. I had my original XML open in Notepad++ so that I could view portions of it while seeing what FOMOD-Designer has to offer. While I can copy & paste text just fine, I was trying to type directly into the text field as I would in a brand new FOMOD installer write up.

Process

1. Select Config in Node Tree
2. Add Name under Children Box and type in name in Property Editor
3. Add an Installation Steps
4. Add an Installation Step and type in name
5. Add an Option Group
6. Add a Group and type in name
7. Add Plugins
8. Add a Plugin and try to type in the name
9. Add a Description and try to type in the description

Expected result

Expected to be able to type what I needed to without having to continually re-click on the text field

Current result

When I reach the Plugin name field I type one letter, scratch my head when I see that the rest of the word did not appear. Click text field again, type another letter, get frustrated that my word is not typing. Continue to click and type repeatedly until finished. Move on to the Description field and try to type in it. Get fed up and copy & paste from another source.

Possible Fix

No idea

name of issue screenshot

No screenshot

Allow copy/paste on nodes. Maybe duplicate?

Add optional colour to each type of object node.

Provide help with the required children for each node. Colour them in red in the object box or provide a setting to auto-create them.

Add ability to hide nodes in the tree and keep them in the output xml.

Sometimes with large fomods the nodes repeat and is hard to keep track of what is what.
It may be a benefit to have the nodes be renamable
