Random addons installed

[niffboy]

I recently started using SyncUI and figured I'd start using Minion to help keep it up to date. The first time I ran Minion, it said all of my addons were out of date which I thought was odd because I keep Curse running in the background (although I had closed it prior to running Minion) and notice anytime an addon needs updating, but decided to update them with Minion anyway.

When I logged into WoW, my UI was a mess. The game froze up and Windows closed it. When I opened it back up, I looked at my addons and right off the bat I noticed addons I'd never even heard of and others I knew about, but don't use. There were about 6 different addons, (some with many modules) that I know I would never use that had been installed.

Oddly enough, SyncUI was not only NOT listed in Minion, but it was disabled in my addons when I logged back in.

Anyone else experience anything like this? If it wasn't for the fact that Minion comes from such a reputable site as WoWInterface, I would be worried about things being installed w/o my knowledge.

Thanks for posting your experience. Would you be able to post your minion.log as it logs its detection decision making. Go into Minion, click on the settings icon (cog icon in the upper right), scroll down to the option 'Open log'. Find and attach your minion.log here please.

Minion currently only checks if addons are a different version than whats on wowinterface.com. If it doesn't know if the installed version is the same it errors on the side of caution and flags the AddOn needing an update. Since version numbers are very subjective its difficult to tell what is newer. We are trying to come up with ways to combat this.

If we can get ahold of your minion.log we can get a better idea of why things were matched with the wrong addons.

Thank you for letting me know about SyncUI, it should now show up in Minion.

Minion works best if you download and install AddOns using it. Right now Minion has the most trouble when its trying to detect what you have in the wild (so does curse, ESO gamers experienced this). Some times it does a wonderful job, some times it does a horrible job (like in your case). We are however trying to make things better and if we can get your minion.log it will certainly help us.

I'm having an issue uploading the minion.log. The file is 4.48MB and is too large to upload for a .log file. When I try to paste it into the thread, the page times out.

The 1st half of the log is "Addon Backup Thread" and I was wondering if that data is important as far as needing it to investigate what happened?

btw. does the latest minion update support "suites"?

If not, this would explain the issue with SyncUI.

The file should compress well, could you zip it up? If not email it to me dolby at mmoui.com

It does now.

Yeah, sorry I didn't think about compressing it.
