Can you uninstall mods?

The built-in mod function is cool as hell, except for one thing... Did you guys think to put an uninstall mods option in?  There is a remove function, but that just deletes the packages, doesn't it.  It doesn't actually uninstall the mod from the board.

the uninstall part is harder than the install part ;)

anyway, no there isn't any current way to automatically uninstall the mods you install with package manager....

uh really? :o
this makes it very bad - just imagine you installed a bugy mod... you'd have to write mods for mods to fix it. :-\

just wondering, it would be extremely easy to write an uninstall routine, just reverse <search for> and <replace>, all <add>'s simply have to be removed. That's the way boardmod is doing it and it works very well.

Reember guys, we released Package Manager as a BETA feature.  We know there is more to do with it but thought we'd let it out with some functionality...

I also missed the option where you can see what mods you already have installed.

suggestion eh? How about a counter. From your packages folder. Everytime someone takes your hack you can count it! Or even the address of who uses it? Meh. Stuck for ideas!  :P ::)

I think I should just rewrite most of the Package Manager.  I was thinking about including several new tags for devlopers.
Other, User convienience functions could be:
  • Uninstaller
  • Easier Navigation
  • List of installed mods
  • Bug Fixes -- lots

I should probably talk to Joseph about this, because the actual installer needs lots of fixing.

Wow sounds good. I'd try give it at least all the features BoardMod has, and then add on to that  ;)
