Below is an example, the mod it occurs during appears to be arbitrary as I've experimented with disabling several.
I'll have to disable all mods in my quest folder and try incrementally, but not sure what feature of mods is causing this

//SUCCESSFULLY INSTALLED Finish Cordyr's Quest without killing Sil
//[F:\Mods\BG2\EE-Mod-Setup-master\Project Infinity\Tools\WeiDU\249.00\weidu.exe] WeiDU version 24900
//F:\Mods\BG2\EE-Mod-Setup-master\Project Infinity\Tools\WeiDU\249.00\weidu.exe: wrong argument --log'; option --force-install' expects an integer.
// WeiDU (version 24900: "Master Doom")
//usage: WeiDU [options] BAF,BCS,D,DLG,TRA,TP,TP2-files
//General Input Options:
// --game X set main game directory to X
// --game-by-type X set main game directory to the one where X is installed (BG,BG2,IWD,IWD2,PST)
// --nogame do not load any default game files

I've shared this issue on Discord as well, but thought I'd highlight it here as well for visibility.

Put simply, despite the mod appearing in the list of installed mods in the left pane, every attempt to install from a Weidu log returns an error message saying the same mod (SoD Tweaks) is missing despite it being visible and checked in the left pane.

Attempts to refresh the mod list return the same number of mods every time, but the number of components varied in an area of around 50-60. This was achieved over 11-12 refreshes of the list.

I've attempted a fresh install of both Project Infinity and of the mod in question, but the issue remains. Due to the complexity of the load order, installing the mod independent of the mod list would prove problematic.

If the install sequence contains already installed mods, re-installation muse be executed with all components in order to avoid multiple re-installation of the already installed components.

Attached. Also attached is a screenshot which hopefully shows what the problem is.
Logs.zip

Preliminary Remarks:
When you check the logs you will see that I had to cancel an installation once after hitting "Start-Installation" instead of "Apply-Sorting Order", but I assume that is not a factor for the bug described below. However, the button layout might be a usability/ GUI design issue in general.

I selected "SoD" as game, I believe this is wrong and should be "BG:EE", but believe that is also unconnected to the bug.

Describe the bug
The sort order from the file open in the screenshot is not applied to the A#7ImprovedShamanicDance mod components. They end up in the unsorted category. The sort order file works fine for everything else. At the moment I would assume that the hash mark "#" in the mod name breaks the file parsing.

Also, "Warning" appears to be misspelled as "Warring".

To Reproduce
Get the mod and try a sort order file. The sort order file used is attached.
MY_BGEE_sort_order.txt

Expected behavior
Mod is correctly sorted in install order as specified in the sort order file.

Describe the bug
When selecting some components, the app hangs and needs to be force closed.

This seems to be random. I tried again with that component, and no issues.

Problem

Installating one or more big mods in EET can take up to an hour and more. Even on NVMe drive and a quite beefy CPU. Sword Coast Stratagems is a great (or just not) great example. The user gets no idea at all about how much time is left for the installation to be finished.

Solution

Some indicator like a progress bar with informative labeling about which component of total in the install sequence is installing right now.

Should it be impossible to determine progressed component within installer logic, specific log messages could be interpreted (like "Installing [Component] [Version]").

Hello,

I found this via https://forums.beamdog.com/discussion/44476/tool-big-world-setup-bws-mod-manager-for-baldurs-gate-enhanced-edition-trilogy-for-windows

I was looking for a tool to help in regards to mods. Some mods are abandoned and installing them can be
a bit annoying / problematic, so I was hoping PI may be of help here.

There is a lack of documentation though. Could you perhaps consider adding a few paragraphs about mods
and mod installations in particular? I ran into issues without PI before where some mods had to be installed
in the right order, and other mods needed tweaking. I'd love to use some handy tool to simplify this. I was
using ruby from the commandline, which is fine on linux, but on windows it is not so great, so I was hoping for
a GUI.

Hi,
I have downloaded the EXE (v 0.10.2.0) today.
Microsoft Defender blocks it stating that it has
Trojan:Win32/Powbr.A!MTB
https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/wdsi/threats/malware-encyclopedia-description?name=Trojan%3aWin32%2fPowbr.A!MTB&threatid=2147731258

Given that there is no source code, you may want to do something before it gets reported and your repo gets torn down completely for spreading malware (not specifically blaming you w/o proof, but this is how it looks like).

Best Regards.

Describe the solution you'd like
Option to launch mod scanning immediately after application is launched.

I split the item revisions mod according to recomendations.
When importing a weidu log, only the second part of the mod was selected, even when the component of the first part was also in the log.

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.
I have Git installed on all my systems already, so PI downloading another copy in unnecessary. Slows down the initial setup.

Describe the solution you'd like
PI should check if "git" is available in the PATH and prevent download of local Git if so.

Trying to mod IWD:EE. Extracted mods detected correctly in their folder, but could not expand component subtree view and/or select components. After clicking mod vanished from selection window.

Inspecting the logs (2019.12.06-10꞉41 or2019.12.06-10꞉37) it appears Project Infinity tries to download weidu.exe from the net and failed because the computer was offline at that time. I am also not sure what the "standard local path" for weidu.exe referenced in the log might be, it is not documented it appears. I assume without a working weidu.exe it cannot read the tp2 files.

If the computer is brought online (2019.12.06-10꞉39) component selection works and there are no errors in the logs.

To Reproduce
Set computer offline and not having a "standard local path" weidu.exe should reproduce the behaviour.

Expected behavior

• Documenting that online download of "weidu.exe" might happen and documentation of the "standard local path" (which I hope I did not miss)
• A clear/prominent error message "No weidu.exe found" or similar instead of not opening the component selection sub-tree-view and just removing the mod from the list.
• Ideally a dialogue choice or preference/configuration setting for local weidu.exe

Hi,
actually you must select each item in each mod before the installation one by one.
Can you add something like "select all items in this mod." and/or a multiple selection with traditionnal windows shortcut?

Thx for your project.

Hi, I occasionally experience an issue where many, but not all, of the mod selections reset whilst using the app. I export my selections to be safe, however it seems if they unselect without me noticing and then I save I lose my progress

Currently, this program appears to scan everything, every single time you click on anything. It literally takes several minutes just to expand a section in the mod list sometimes because of all the background shit the program does every single time you click on anything.

Whatever it's doing, it should only be doing it after you click on a dedicated button, AFTER you enable all of your mod components. The constant stateful re-checking of literally everything makes this program run like a hippo in quick-sand.

Describe the solution you'd like
Every warning and error causes the install to pause and wait for user input.
Sometimes I want to test an install during the night and check everything in the morning, even if there are dozens of errors.
The app could have the option to never pause the install.

@ALIENQuake - I have .net 4.8 and i get a crash when clicking 2x on windows 7, i wish i could help more. If i may add an suggestion i'd like to recommend a tool like bugtrap here on github to create full zipped crash logs. I'll attach them here in case that happens.

Instead of creating virtual duplicate instances of mods to alternate components, what would it take to duplicate the mod files themselves? Which files would need to be renamed and which configs would need to be changed? Would this be possible as an automatic process?
As it is, instance cloning is too volatile: if the app closes, all changes vanish.

Describe the bug
After the last updates, I set the extracted mods folder, click refresh and the mods show.
If I close the app, I have to refresh again for the mods to show.

While in the ideal world, such things as a 'closed source' would not exist, this project needs to be closed for several reasons. The most important one is that there is a malicious actor in the Infinity Engine Modding community who has hijacked the previous mod manager and replaced mods with customized versions. This person promotes their own mods by recommending them over others and gatekeeps mods that interfere with their content.

However, you don't need source code to be open to trusting the application or contributing to it. If you are really interested in contributing and you are familiar with Windows Forms/WPF/c#/PowerShell, feel free to reach me.

Describe the bug
A seemingly correctly defined dynamic install order gives a false positive

To Reproduce
Steps to reproduce the behavior:

1. Open Project Infinity 0.8.12
2. Download and extract HiddenGameplayOptions v2.6 and cdtweaks v9 mods
3. Load them to Project Infinity
4. Move cdtweaks from Default/Unassigned to After A.I.
5. Move HiddenGameplayOptions from Default/Unassigned to Late (strange that it starts in Default/Unassigned although it's HiddenGameplayOptions.ini file says "# Dynamic Install Order Category Type = Late")
6. Select some components from both mods
7. A rule displays HiddenGameplayOptions AFTER cdtweaks as FALSE

Expected behavior
The rule should return TRUE, because HiddenGameplayOptions.ini says "After = cdtweaks" and "cdtweaks" is the correct name to use - same as in the .tp2 file name after "setup-":

Hello

App is classified as Trojan.GenericKD.46892447 by Bitdefender and Windows Smartscreen is blocking it. Even when I put it into exclusion list, it first tried to write something in registry. Why?

I denied registry access and then my AV blocked C:\Temp\Infinity Engine Mod Package.dat with detection name ATC.SuspiciousBehavior.73F6F2DE54014AF5.

Hi,
Since recent windows 10 updates (I guess .Net was also updated) I can't start PI anymore.
I just click on the exe, I can see the process starting, and then it closes (PI interface is not displayed though).
No log, nothing to report with, unfortunately.

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.
If a mod has an order that has incompatibilities, it blocks the install.

Describe the solution you'd like
If a mod component as a configured incompatible order with another mod, it should give the warning, but never block the install (with a greyed out button). It should always be a user option.

When running the downloaded .exe, Windows Defender alerts that ProjectInfinity.exe contains Trojan (Trojan:Script/Wacatac.B!ml).
Why this happens and how it could be fixed?

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.
I'm frustrated when each time I re-launch Project Infinity many of the mod components that I previously selected are now unticked. This means that I must do my PI install in a single sitting, which may take hours.

I realize that saving components is listed as not possible where mods don't support globally unique labels. Is there a work around for this? If I could just select and copy the text to a document it would save time when I'm going back in to do it for the umpteenth time.

Describe the solution you'd like
Either some way to export to string or drag to select and thus copy-paste the list of components in the left window. Alternatively, any sort of hack or option to leave any selected components ticked when the program is shut and re-opened.

Describe alternatives you've considered
Presently I'm just going to start taking photographs or short videos of the screen, I don't know why I didn't think of that earlier.

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.
Readability of meta data in top right corner is bad due to multiple line breaks.
Readability of Installation Sequence is bad due to too narrow a window.

Describe the solution you'd like
A solution to resize the 2 windows via drag n' drop of the borders (like between Install Order Window and Rules Window).

Describe alternatives you've considered
Using 25% DPI windows scaling and using a magnifying glass

Also a way to scale font size would be a great help for us with high resolution screens.

Rewrite backend to be more object-oriented.

The text is cut off on the left-side list...This might only be on my set-up and not affecting everyone, but it's still an issue.

The buttons at the top are also misaligned. This is obviously not a use-limited issue and only an aesthetic one.
