Scarab+

This is a fork of Scarab, a mod manager for Hollow Knight. Why does this exist? Because we felt like there were some major features missing from the primary Hollow Knight mod manager that everyone uses.

This fork has everything that Scarab has plus a few nice features:

• Improved search options (filter by tags, search by dependency)
• A tab for recently released mods
• Important bug fixes for
  • Mods not downloading correctly
  • Showing a mod is updated when it isn't.
  • Showing that Modding API is disabled when it is not.
• And other minor things (queueing multiple downloads, open mod's settings file, handling not in modlinks mods and a button to manually them, ability to disable/uninstall all)
