I guess I should clarify, in case it makes a difference, that the network shares Minion is scanning are mapped to drive letters; it's not going out and scanning all the shares on all ~50 machines on the network.

No, but I can just wipe the settings and let it start over. If it makes the same mistakes, I'll attach the log.

Yes, but as noted in my edit, I later found that the problem was that I'd previously removed those installs from Minion. There should be some way to restore hidden games; if there already is, I couldn't find it.

Erm, shouldn't those be blocked like .wowmatrix and other junk files? There's absolutely no excuse for any author including repository data in their release ZIPs.

I run dual monitors, so yes, there is "something to focus" -- the app itself. Even if it's fully visible on the other monitor, I have to click on it to bring it into focus (OS focus, not form field focus) before I can use the mousewheel to scroll the list. When 90% of the visible app spawns a popup when clicked, it's extremely annoying. People who don't run any apps maximized and have some corner or side of 5-10 apps visible on the desktop at all times will also experience this problem, though to a lesser extent. The only people who won't have this problem are people who run everything maximized on a single monitor, and switch between apps with Alt-Tab or by clicking the buttons on the taskbar. An "Info" button would be much less annoying, and would not be confusing to anyone.

4 copies of WoW, as shown in the screenshot I attached. Local install, local beta install, and 2 network installs.

Yes, and this has been my experience at home, too. The first time I ran the app, it showed a bunch of addons as needing updates. I installed the updates that were actually updates, but did not install the "updates" that would have given me an older version or overwritten a working copy. I did not use the "ignore" feature either. I just left them alone. On subsequent runs of the app, none of those "updates" are shown anymore.
I'll include a second-run log in another post shortly, along with the first-run log where it's scanning network shares and misidentifying Examiner as "Raio X" etc.
