The auto detection is fine (except for being fucked up on windows again and again due to people not knowing about the virtual registry and adding wrong paths for loading. More than doing that is just impossible. It is fine, just let it be.

There is no reason to edit stuff in registry and telling people they would need to is just plain wrong. Storing stuff there is perfectly fine and will not be changed.

When you change stuff and Noggit will now no longer find stuff for your locale / whatever, that's an error on the "I'll just edit it in the registry" side not on Noggit.

Of course there is no handling for stuff changing right now. The small settings dialog is just opened on the wrong place.

Autodetection is fine, should stay in. Instead of crashing upon loading, it shall display the settings dialog (this is the case for never configured or moved folders). The locale of course also should be in the settings. Every setting should be changeable at any point.


The registry is fine. Just expand the settings dialog and use it instead of complaining.

Also, replace all QStrings with QFiles when handling directories to prevent  /  fuckups, like they exist right now.

I have some ideas.

- Zoom in/out in choosing map (Like Sharpwow)
- Small icons on Toolbar now 40x40 (to 24x24?)
- Alt + right mouse action increase/decrease brush speed

EDIT:
- Load MPQ, ... on File -> Open Maps
Not sure if needed.
Will scale down anyways.
wasn't there already one?
Don't understand that one.

I agree storing in registry is ok.

I agree, that's why I said I wanted to change this.

Ok I'll do that.

The proglem is if you have more then one wow on your hd and open them also from time to time. I don´t want to start the noggit wow every time i want to use noggit. I just want to set this fix in a settings dialog and thats it.

If you start noggit the first time the settings dialog should pop up and give you the auto detected wow as an proposal. Set the right client version and it is added. If its the wrong client you can just use the folder selector to get the right one.
