2.0.0

The whole app, rebuilt. Six tabs became four, the catalog was redrawn, and most of the
questions the app used to ask you it now answers itself.

Four sections instead of six

Catalog, My mods, Presets, Settings. Guides moved inside the mod they explain: open a mod and
the guide is there, on the same card. Tools became what they always were, a category of the
catalog, so they sit in the rail with everything else.

The catalog, redrawn

• Five columns instead of four, and a card that leads with the picture. Tags say what a mod
  changes; which item slot it fills is a dropdown, because that is one answer rather than a
  set. Both are translated now.
• A mod with several looks shows them as coloured buttons with their names on, and you can
  flip between them on the card itself without opening anything.
• An installed mod wears a green frame you can see from across the grid.
• Heroes is grouped hero by hero, A to Z, and scrolls four times faster than it did.
• Opening a mod takes a third of a second and comes out of the card you clicked.
• Counts are gone from the rail, the tiles and the headings. They were catalog statistics, and
  you came here to install a mod.

An install list

Click the plus on a card to put a mod aside, keep browsing, then install everything at once.
The list has its own search, so a list eighty mods long is still a list you can work with.
That was the most asked-for thing in Discord: people were installing eighty mods one at a
time.

It wears the hero you pick

Eight palettes from the catalog's own art, and a little animated mascot next to the logo that
switches between them. Click it and the whole window follows.

My mods is a list again

A row is a picture, a name, a category and a switch. Everything rarer lives under the right
mouse button: rename, remove, open the folder, change the load order. The order is always
available, not only when something looks wrong.

Sharing a setup is one button

One Share button opens one sheet: the link is already made and the file is next to it. It
says what each of the two carries, so nobody sends a link expecting it to include a mod that
is not in the catalog.

It stopped asking about languages

The app no longer touches Dota's text language, keeps the voices Russian by itself, and puts
mods where the game actually looks for them. If your mods were stranded in another folder from
an older version, they move over on the first start. English voices are a single switch in
Settings, and turning them on leaves every mod in place.

It survives a Dota patch

The app notices a game update when it lands rather than at the next start, and puts back what
the patch wiped. While Dota is running it does not write to the game folder at all: it says so
and waits for you to close the game.

All of the change, or none of it

Installing, importing, switching and deleting now write to the game folder as one transaction.
If anything fails halfway, everything goes back to how it was, including the files that were
displaced to make room.

Downloads that finish

Several mirrors instead of one, a download that resumes where it stopped, and a checksum on
what arrives. A half-finished file in the cache is re-fetched instead of installed.

It puts back what Steam's file check takes away

Verifying game files in Steam removes the patch, the item table, the voice setup, fonts and
cursors. The app notices and restores all of it without asking.

It reads the game rather than guessing

• Item pictures come from Dota's own files, so anything Valve adds appears without an app
  update and without downloading a 48 MB wiki dump.
• A mod that came with no picture gets one out of itself, from the art the author packed
  inside it.
• The app asks the game which items a mod replaces and who wears them, so a mod is named by
  what it actually does. A "bundle for 8 heroes" turned out to be one hero.
• A mod whose files are supplied by another mod is marked covered, and the app tells you which
  one the game is loading. It decides that by comparing the files themselves, so two mods that
  happen to carry the same stock file are not accused of fighting.
• A folder of loose game files can be turned into a mod, and a mod can be unpacked back into a
  folder. Drag a folder onto the window and it just works.

Fixed

• Favouriting a mod could stop installs from working. Saving any setting made the app
  forget it had found Dota, so the catalog claimed the game was not installed and every
  install refused until you restarted. Present since 1.15.0.
• An archive can no longer lie about its size to make the app unpack a bomb, and a file inside
  an archive can no longer be written outside the folder it was meant for. That applied to any
  archive the app accepts, including a preset somebody sends you.
• Chips on a card stay on one line instead of pushing the card's own layout apart.
• After moving between screens, cards and buttons could stop responding. The app now waits for
  a screen to exist before wiring it up.
• My mods no longer breaks when there are files in the mods folder that the app did not put
  there.
