You can import your data from NewDarkLoader. Find the Import... option under the main menu in the top-left ((https://www.ttlg.com/forums/showthread.php?t=149706&page=24&p=2499951&viewfull=1#post2499951) see).

Maybe I should make this more discoverable? The initial startup settings window doesn't make any mention of importing from other loaders, but it probably should. A person could easily never stumble across the Import option as it's very tucked away. That makes sense from a certain perspective as it will normally be used once and then never again, so it shouldn't clog up the UI, but at the same time it's not obvious that it's there.

I just checked. No Hammerite Punishment Squad required. :thumb:

It's a good idea, too. I think putting Import in the left-side menu of the main Settings dialogue would work. Right now there's only four things over there, so it should be pretty visible there. Maybe a notification of the import system's existence on first load might not be a bad idea, either.

I have a minor, rare, edge-case bug to report. I've been separating/isolating specific mods out of different major mods so I can more granularly control how I modify OMs or FMs to avoid conflicts.

That was a long-winded way of saying I have a lot of mods listed in the mods tab, probably more than most people, which is why this is an edge case.

The bug is this: Sometimes when I scroll down to the bottom of the list, enabling or disabling any mods along the way, then scroll back up, AngelLoader inserts a bunch of blank spaces above the mod listed first. Everything still works fine, so it's not a show-stopper.

To reproduce the bug (sometimes*), 1) you have to have a mod list longer than the field will show without scrolling, 2) scroll most, but not all the way down, 3) check or uncheck a couple of mods, 4) scroll all the way to the bottom, then 5) scroll back up to the top. It will basically keep scrolling up passed the top, inserting more and more spaces.

*I say sometimes because I haven't been able to isolate exactly when or why it happens each time. It might happen more often if I click on either the Disable All or Enable All buttons.

The simple workaround is to just click on another mission, then click back to the mission you were on. The list of mods resets itself with no inserted spaces. Again, it's not a big deal, but I thought I'd let you know.

And now a feature request! If possible, I'd love to be able to right-click on a mission or campaign and create a shortcut to that mission. That way, for example, I could launch straight into The Black Parade without first launching AngelLoader, then clicking on the campaign's entry. (I'd still want AngelLoader open, though.)

I sort of have this working with a simple AutoHotkey script. The Autohotkey script launches AngelLoader, then just hits the Enter key once AngelLoader is fully loaded. But, of course, that will only launch the last played mission, not a specific mission. But for now it works for me like a shortcut straight into The Black Parade.

Anyways, it'd be neat to have a handful of shortcuts that launch my favorite missions just like they were installed games. I think people would especially find it useful for campaigns like T2X, The Black Parade, The Broken Goddess, etc. Just an idea. :)

Yes, this is always a convenient feature for a windows-based frontend with lots of entries so I'd like to request it too. Btw, how do I create a shortcut to a Thief mod? Using a command line?
