Minion wants to update to older versions of what I have installed.
2 Attachment(s)
I am running Minion v3.0.5 on Windows 7 64bit. And for some reason Minion wants to update addons to an older version to what I have installed, or a different number altogether. Granted I use Curse as well as some addons get updated there first.

for some insight. You can also read through this thread if you like, to see how it has been debated in the past: http://www.wowinterface.com/forums/s...ad.php?t=52820 If you update some addons from Curse, and the addons' authors keep them more up to date at Curse, simply right-click that addon in Minion and set it to ignore. |
thanks for the reply and links Seerah, I searched somewhat but didn't see anything relevant.

Hi,
I have the same problem ... Minion wants to update addons using version number completely wrong even for addons that are on WoWI. For example, if you check the img you can see that all the addons with gm* (mine) are completely mischecked even if on WOWI I usually mantain all of them even before curse. In this case where it gets this version numbers so old and is there a way to reset it ? Thanks. |
Hi,
I have found in the setting the possibility to reset addons, games and drive. Using this make the situation better even if there are some iussues that are still there. :) Is it possible that Minion will have an option to scan them everytime ? Here is my situation: - Tipsy has a wrong version in toc file: ## Version: $project-version$ - Skada is a pity but it is not outdated on WOWI as on curse but it is correctly detected. - EPGP* are mismatched, I have: - OpenAll (I used the kemayo version) is mismatched the same but it is not not update on WOWI like on curse. - AraBrokerGuild is correctly detected as outdated even if it is not because the latest file r76 has in .toc file: Version: r75 Thanks for attention. |

Hi Dolby,
thanks for your kind reply. Installing the addon with version mismatch again with minion solve the .toc files problems. :) A couple of whishes: - Is it possible that it shows also the addons that it could not find so we can guess what other addons we have to find elsewhere to download and update ? with a link to google (or other research engine you wish) so we can find them fast ?!?!? :) - is it possible to have a function/tool that clean all the saved variables of addon not used anymore or badly deleted removing only the folder in then addon dir ? It is a thing the first curse client had but disappeared also from the latest twitch client. Thanks ! |

I run into this frequently:
Also pops up if you pull an addon from a non-WoWI source but it's also updated on WoWI. I'm really surprised that Minion doesn't read the on-disk .toc file. A tiny amount of extra load time would be well, well worth removing this particular headache. |

For this scenario, I'd suggest two different types of "Ignore addon" options be given to the user: A. "Ignore" (completely) (and permanently, til user changes his mind) - what is currently in place; B. "Ignore current update" (only current update, not future ones) - once a new version of the addon were to be posted on WoWI, then Minion would automatically remove it from the Ignore list. My logic for option B is that ome addons do get updated earlier on Curse (or wherever else you got them from) but do eventually get updated on WoWI as well. For me, in most cases (unless the previous version of the addon was properly broken), I'd be alright with the delay. In some situations, I might be alright with updating the addon manually but, if at some point, its author decides to keep it updated on WoWI, then I'd rather have Minion update it for me. Adding to the above functionality, you might keep the "Ignore current update" on the list of addons with possible updates, but diferentiated from the ones the user hadn't chosen to ignore. This could be through a different "Update" button (text and/or color) and/or ordered after the regular "Update" addons (but before the addons with no updates whatsoever). BTW, speaking of colors, I have some eyesight problem which comes up specially with low contrast. That white text on that light green button is rather low contrast. Could you please use a darker tone of green maybe? Thanks for your awesome work on both the site and Minion! |
