Is this the final release or the beta version?

It's super easy to update:
Just unzip into your AngelLoader folder and let it overwrite everything, but all your player content is retained in files that aren't overwritten.

Actually, I have not installed AngelLoader yet. It will be a fresh install for me.

You're going to hate me... But System Shock 2 support?
So far, I'm liking it.

And here I was hoping no one would ask... :laff:
I considered SS2 support early on, but decided to prioritize the games I'm most familiar with first, and put off thinking about SS2 till later. Then when nobody made a peep about it throughout the whole development, I figured, well, maybe nobody's really clamoring for it. I guess I was also hoping that would be the end of it, because SS2 doesn't really float my boat and I was hoping I could just forget about it and not have to research, implement, and support it. :p
Still, I'll... I'll think about it.

I also did notice an oddity but seems to have self corrected itself.
I'm testing a new FM in beta right now. When I loaded the list of FM's it showed up as a Thief 1 mission. After clicking the show/hide T1 & T2 missions, it seems to have resolved itself.

Hmm. Could you give me more details:
-Were you using game tabs or "one list with filters" (with the three game buttons)?
-When the FM showed up as Thief 1, you mean it was in the list even though T1 FMs were supposed to be filtered out? Did it have the right game icon, or did it have no game icon? After you fiddled with the filters, did it have the right game icon then?
-Your beta FM, did you put its archive in one of your normal archive folders? Was it installed at the time? Was this FM installed or listed with another loader and did you import data from that (or any other) loader?

I have, so far, been thoroughly impressed with AngelLoader's utility. Especially on an SSD, the file operations are very quick.
I would like to give some other feedback, however. On two separate machines running the latest version of Windows 10 and the listed prerequisites, RichTextBox does not seem to be displaying some embedded images, similar to how Wordpad acts when the user opts to not run potentially malicious code. This is evident, for example, in the readme for Lord Alan's Factory for Thief 2. Other special formatting, including GLML, is displayed correctly.
Additionally, the option to load DMLs in the "Patch & Customize" section should probably not be available for Thief 3, since it cannot load dbmods.

Okay, got both issues fixed. I'll wait for bob_doe_nz's reponse to see if I can fix his issue and then I'll release an updated version.
Thanks for the feedback, it's very helpful!

My, you certainly waste no time. After cloning and compiling, I can verify that both of my points have been addressed. I figured the RTF issue lied in the ReadOnly content, and it seems that it did indeed.
Thank you for taking note of these!
