OK, first impressions... - don't take these comments the wrong way, I only want to help you improve this software, so don't get angry at me OK?
Firstly, make it so people can choose the mods from whatever folder they want (rather than just restricting them to the documents folder, as it is now) - it's not very good, as a lot of mod files are in folders, which you cannot access in your initial dilog box.
Secondly, I really don't like how it automatically prompts you to select the file, before I even click a button, it's not very good, I would reccomend having a main screen, with a button to press when you want to apply a mod.
Thirdly - I understand this is still in development, but I would reccomend taking a leaf from the real boardmod, and try to 'copy' that as much as possible - meaning try and get some kind of file browser in there, so you can select what mods you want to apply, and then apply them - this also enables you to use BM on multiple verisons of YaBB...
also, it comes out with some very obscure error messages, which seem wrong (when aplpying a mod onto a clean YaBB, it comes back with an error -24 which I assume means search string not found - BM then quits out) - I would like to see some more informative error messages - the problem is, this is a known working mod, applied on a clena SP1.3.1 - so I don't know why it pops up that error.
As I say, don't take this the wrong way, I want to help - I'm an experienced Mac user, and I wok for apple, so I have access to lots of cool stuff that may be of help - if you want to discuss some of these things with me, feel free to PM me, and I'll do my best to respond.
thanks very much for making this! 8)
