Hey @Wolfix are you on windows 11?

@Gang1111 yea

@Wolfix I tell that some time ago in my discord, but i write it again:

There must be a bug in windows (i really don't know why). The folder listing has nothing to do with the tool, it is managed by Windows.
I had a user with the same problem before. I installed the windows build version he had installed and everything worked without any problems.

He fixed the problem by reinstalling windows.

love it

Its not a bug in windows 11. It was a bug in .Net Framework.

Hopefully this fix your problem @Wolfix

@Gang1111 yea it worked thanks appreciate

If you're using this, i'd recommend moving your mods and scripts folder somewhere else. It doesnt detect anything from those

I am happy to see that it worked for you @Wolfix :D

@Hitity You can whitelist them. It moves all your files and folder or only your seleceted files/folder to the whitelist folder.

@Gang1111 For deleting OIVs
https://gta5modhelp.blogspot.com/2023/01/uninstalling-oiv.html

@JohnFromGWN Thanks for the link, but it's not a problem to read OVIs. There are some other problems:
1. The main problem is you can't really list modified files inside an RPF. (Because of the original, unmodified files inside)
2. You need that installed OVI files for reading the "assembly.xml" file to get all file installations (Most of the time users delete the OVI after installing it)
3. If i implement this i really need the original OVIs to read the installation directory and i think that's nearly impossible.

@Gang1111 yes, agreed. It's a shame OpenIV doesn't allow us a command line interface. That would allow us to modify encrypted rpfs from batch, powershell, or other scripts. I'm sure they don't want us to have that independence. Codewalker rpf explorer would be another possibility. I really wish we could do that.

@Gang1111 I'm not sure what you mean by point 3. I wrote an OIV as a proof of concept, that can delete any file in the installation folder.

@JohnFromGWN I see my mistake on my post lol. I mean OIV not OVI XD
In point 3 i mean if i add an RPF explorer i need to know which files were modified inside the RPF so i delete them, but i can only know that from the "assembly.xml" inside the OIV.

Yep OIVs is dangerous i know that. You can't see which files edited, added or deleted before and after installation.

when i change the location of the whitelist folder, and then press "move all files/folder to whitelist" i get an error that says "source and destination filenames are identical".
let me skip or cancel...
If I don't change the location of the whitelist folder, the software works fine.

The file "GTA V Mod Remove Tool.exe" is located in the gta folder "...\SteamLibrary\steamapps\common\Grand Theft Auto V"

@lmeucchi Windows 11 or 10? and which .net framework? (4.5 or 4.8)

@Gang1111 windows 10 and Microsoft .NET Framework, versión 4.0.30319.42000

2.3.1 was successfully released!
- [Added] Added message to whitelist directory changing (Because it doesnt move any files and folder from the old to the new directory)
- [Fix] Whitelist (Moving the files & folders to the wrong folder after changing the default directory)
- [Fix] Crash issues (While open whitelist folder if it doesn't exist)

Hope this helps @lmeucchi.

@Gang1111 yes, it's fine now.

but there is one more thing...
Excuse me, but it's good to improve it as best as possible.

If I create a folder for the whitelist in another location called for example "whitelist mod new" it works very well, the files are moved successfully but it continues to generate the "GTA V Mod Remove Tool-Whitelist" folder that would not be there In use...

It is a small detail but if possible... better

regards

2.3.2 was successfully released!
- [Added] "refresh list" to Context menu [right click on list] (now it show "refresh list" instead of unselectable options)
- [Fix] Whitelist folder creation (it still creates the default folder even though a custom folder was selected)

Thanks for the hint, @lmeucchi.

thank you very much...it works perfect
