(https://github.com/FenPhoenix/AngelLoader/releases/download/v1.6.7/AngelLoader_v1.6.7.zip) AngelLoader v1.6.7 is out.

The main new addition is a feature request - mission count display for FMs.

Features and improvements:

* Added FM mission count detection (so you can see how many missions are in a campaign). This is shown on the Stats tab as "Single mission" or "x mission campaign", and also in the new Mission Count column. The first time you start this new version, there will be a one-time scan to detect mission counts for all FMs in the database. You can cancel the scan if you want. You can always scan for mission counts manually by selecting Main Menu -> Scan all FMs... -> Uncheck everything except the "Mission count" checkbox and click OK. Newly added FMs will also now have their mission counts detected as part of the standard new FM scan.
* Added folder icon to "Open FM folder" menu item, for easier visual locating.
* Improved/clarified the "AngelLoader is set as the loader for this game" message that pops up when starting a game exe outside of AngelLoader when AngelLoader has set itself as the selector and has not had a chance to reset to the old selector.
* The readme box now has a context menu with "Copy" and "Select all".
* In the Settings window -> Appearance section, the date format dropdowns will no longer respond to mousewheel scrolling. That way they won't constantly accidentally change value when you're trying to just scroll the window contents.


Performance:

* When "Include subfolders" is selected for FM archive paths, finding an FM's archive file requires a full directory tree search of each specified FM archive path (to get the subfolders), which can potentially be slow. With the advent of multiple FM selection, there were several places where this directory search was being done for each FM in a batch. Now, in these situations, the search is done only once and then cached.


Fixes:

* Sorting by rating now sorts in the order "unrated -> 0-10" rather than "0 -> unrated -> 1-10".
* For dropdown comboboxes in dark mode, if you moved the mouse quickly over the dropdown after opening it, the text of the item your mouse moved over would erroneously be displayed in the main combobox instead of the selected item's text.
* Fixed perf/memory-churn issue when drag-selecting a very large number of FMs, after the FM context menu had been opened at least once.
* Fixed when middle-clicking to center the FMs list on the selected FM, if scrolling was required, the vertical scroll bar might not visually update to the new scroll position the first time.

Zip or 7z missions?

Edit: Both types measure the same time taken on my end for both 1.6.6 and 1.6.7. What part of it takes longer? Is it the main part where the percentage bar goes up, is it the "Preparing to install" part, is it the restoring of backups or audio conversion part?

Does anything appear in the AngelLoader_log.txt file after an install?

Are you sure it's consistent and measurably slower? The first time a file is read from disk, it will be a lot slower than subsequent times due to Windows caching.

You can delete any FM from disk by pressing the delete key or choosing Delete FM from the right-click menu. There will be an option to also delete the FM from the database. If you want to delete FMs from the database that are already gone from disk, click the red X document looking button on the toolbar ("Show only unavailable FMs") and there you can see the deleted FMs that are still in the database, and you can delete them the same way as above.
