Smarter Manual Mods Install

[LukeNexusMods]

As a user
I want the app to make a best guess or recommendation for mods that would normally trigger the manual installer
So that I don't have to choose myself

Currently users can get a lot of popups during collection install triggering the manual installer. Ideally we should try to minimise this so it does not overwhelm the user. If we are able to identify where the mod should go the app should make ever effort to install it there.

You should probably provide the context here. Which game? Which mods are triggering the advanced installer? Do we know why?

I'm not sure I understand the "uses CPU threads" part of this. I don't think we actively tie up a CPU thread for the manual installer. At least if we do, that's probably a bug.

Now... I may have misunderstood this but let me try to explain.

Florian said that if the number of mods triggering the manual installer matched the number of threads on your CPU then if you cancel it would not start looking at another mod to download and it would just stop. That is what I understood from "We install mods in parallel, the degree of parallelism is dependent on the amount of cores your system has. With 4 core, we'd install 4 mods at once. However, if those 4 mods are all using the advanced installer, then all installers are waiting for user input".

Best way to see this is to download and install this collection:

If you cancel all the manual installers that pop up the install all process just stops.
