Hi SnowmanDK,
Thanks for posting all that great info.
Minion is looking for Wow.exe every time you start up because it can't find it. We enabled World of Warcraft support in this latest version. That is why its taking so long. We are working on a patch to fix this so it doesn't keep looking for it.
Setting <game-scan-depth>0</game-scan-depth> will result in turning off game detection all together. So It won't detect any games it doesn't already know (listed in the minion.xml). Minion detects EU ESO and PTS on my systems and my co-workers, was it detected previously for you and disappeared when you updated?
ESO game detection is quick, its because its trying to find World of Warcraft on your system that it is taking longer. For ESO we look for the following below so we can create the AddOn folders if they are missing (this happens if a user installs Minion before they launched ESO for the first time).
Code:
GameDetection: [
{
GameDisplayName: "Elder Scrolls Online",
GameExe: {
win: "The Elder Scrolls Online/game/client/eso.exe",
mac: "The Elder Scrolls Online/game_mac/pubplayerclient/eso.app",
linux: null
},
GameAddOnFolder: "Documents/Elder Scrolls Online/live/AddOns"
},
{
GameDisplayName: "Elder Scrolls Online (PTS)",
GameExe: {
win: "The Elder Scrolls Online PTS/game/client/eso.exe",
mac: "The Elder Scrolls Online PTS/game_mac/pubplayerclient/eso.app",
linux: null
},
GameAddOnFolder: "Documents/Elder Scrolls Online/pts/AddOns"
},
{
GameDisplayName: "Elder Scrolls Online (EU)",
GameExe: {
win: "The Elder Scrolls Online EU/game/client/eso.exe",
mac: "The Elder Scrolls Online EU/game_mac/pubplayerclient/eso.app",
linux: null
},
GameAddOnFolder: "Documents/Elder Scrolls Online/liveeu/AddOns"
}
],
Finding those long strings make ESO detection quick. For wow we are just searching 4 directories deep for Wow.exe.
