Is there / Will there be an option to disable file icons? I think, before 1.8.0, the modlist used to look much cleaner without them. For now, I'm going to continue using 1.7.3 just because of this, lmao.

There is, it's just kinda hidden at the moment, because i couldn't find a good place for it. Right click inside the mod list, and there it is.

Hey Youda, Would it be possible to have Doomrunner open with the map pack window showing the last pack used. I realise that as it stands the app remembers the last used pack and keeps it highlighted but I have a huge list of WADs (I'm sure I'm not the only one!) and I have to scroll through to see if one is highlighted. Hope that makes sense.

Ah, it stays scrolled at the top, but you would like it to scroll at the selected item. Makes sense, i will see if that's possible

I noticed with the recent update despite having it set as Fusion dark theme before updating, the new update would give an error (I assume letting me know the settings file location moved) but the theme was defaulted to the buggy mix of dark theme with light theme, so the text was unreadable, so I had to check the box, not being able to read it, and hit ok. Probably something to look into.

Thanks. Already got this on github, looking into it.
It should be safe to just press Ok. In worst case some setting will be reset to default.

Are the Gameplay Options in the launcher based on GZDoom's options? (ie DMFlags) I'm asking because I noticed the newest version of GZDoom added a "pistol start" option, which I think is part of a new dmflags3. (I know nothing about dmflags, so excuse my wording) Would this be something that Doom Runner could add, or should it stay the way it is so it doesn't mess up non-GZDoom engines?


EDIT: For now, going to the preset's additional command line arguments and typing in "+dmflags3 128" works fine if you want to enable pistol starts.

Hello,

i use batch files, is there a launcher that manages bat files so that i could use it ... it's the best way to use GZ, for me, batch work portable, i have a MODs folder inside GZ folder ROOT !
An app that handles bat files, there is few settings i use tho (-config // -savedir // -iWAD // -FILE ), would help me a lot, so that i don't miss typo.

Could the option to IMPORT/EXPORT batch files could be added, it'd help a lot of people keeping using batch files, i'll do anyway.

It needs verry few options:
import batch files, many, (using filename for "title")
export to batch, many, (it'd keep imported batch files name, since it used filename for "title")
check if files written in batch exist (it'd fix user typo...) then report errors
directories being relative, add absolute directories for Linux (not me)

THANKS
