Minion doesn't detect all addons

Jeckll · 04/24/14, 10:13 AM

Hi there,
I'm sorry if this issue was solved before but I have a hard time using the search function in this forum.

My Minion keeps detecting the same 4 AddOns (Esohead, Inventory Grid View, Research Assistant and SkyShards) while all the other AddOns I have installed do not show up in the "INSTALLED" Tab. I have cleared my AddOns Directory multiple times and reinstalled my AddOns via Minion but every time I restart the programm, the same 4 AddOns are getting detected while the rest is missing.

I already deinstalled Minion a few times, deleted the minion.xml and added the Game manually again in Minion.
I triple checked that the directory I'm installing AddOns in is in fact the directory I chose in the Minion options.

I'd be happy with any tip you might offer.

Thanks a lot,
Jeckll, EU

have kinda the same but opposite question.

If I delete the Folder with an AddOn .. Minion still says its installed.

Jeckll can you post your minion.xml? that file is used as a small database for installed addons. If there is something wrong with it and it can't write to the file to record the downloads or its deleted it will cause problems and require you to re-download addons for them to stay in Minion. So if you recently deleted your minion.xml yes you'll need to re-download some addons in Minion for them to stay showing but after that it should continue to remember them unless there is a problem with your minion.xml.

TheBelgarion, when you delete AddOns just use Minion to do it. Right click on the AddOn in the installed list and choose "Uninstall". Right now Minion doesn't do a sanity check for addons removed manually.

Hey,

always wondered how to deinstall

I think "Uninstall" Button instead of disabled "installed" Button in the AddOns Page might be good.

thx

That might be an idea. Worth the team talking about, at the very least.

I've never been able to get Minion to detect all of my add-ons, that's why I really don't use it. Here is my .xml
