Purpose of the Mod

To facilitate access to the mods that are (perhaps) most likely to be processed next, this mod duplicates the Mod List table rows for n recently-processed mods, and places them at the top of the results table.

Mod Manager Options

  1. The number of mods to be duplicated at the top of the results list, and
  2. The maximum number of Mod Manager log entries to search in order to find the most-recently-processed mods. (Deletions and errors are counted, but otherwise ignored.)

Compatibility

No known incompatibilities or dependencies on any other published mods. As I write this, I have written all of the published Mod Manager mods.

Related Mods

This mod is compatible with and coordinates with my other Mod Manager mods:

  1. Mod Manager Compare, which generates a report comparing the mods in the local site with (optionally) the mods in a remote site, and their Wiki articles.
  2. Mod Manager Filenames, which affect the Filenames column of the Mod List.
  3. Mod Manager List Locations, which
    • Adds some display features to the list of target locations in the detailed status,
    • Hides the detailed status for mods that are "Installed" and "Ok to Install", but
    • Adds a button that lets you see the detailed status listing if you want, and
  4. Mod Manager Note Tags, which adds some .cfg file tags for annotation.

Any or all of these mods can be installed independently, in any order.

The changes in the Filename column in this screenshot, particularly the general omission of version #s and the .cfg file extension, and the red version # in the Open My Page Mod filename are results of the Mod Manager Filenames mod.
