Minion also doesn't support multiple installations of ESO. It should detect when a user has PTS, NA and EU installed and also download the correct version for each instance automatically.

We need to change the way we store addons and how that info is stored in our database first. Right now most things in the DB are around the projectid and not the fileid. That is something I'll be working on soon(tm) for us to handle multiple versions of AddOns and tagging them with API version numbers.
Minion certainly detects Live / PTS / EU for me? This was a feature that was added awhile ago. If you've never deleted (or safer, renamed) your minion.xml and been using Minion from the start then you've probably never seen the newer detection process? (see screen shot attached, ignore outdated addons its just a dev vm)
We do have our java programmer back and we want to release an update to Minion soon. Just untangling everything from ZAM is taking longer than planned. I'll certainly add these ideas to our Minion backlog as it will require some updates to Application and our API too.
