drag and drop, suggestions, etc.

Hello, it's me again.
Here are some suggestions I have come up with.
* Drag and Drop installing of Addons. So you can drag a file from your desktop to mod list and install it.
* And/Or add the multiselect option to the fileselect box, so you can select more than one at a time.
* Also, perhaps make it more clear that what this does is duplicate your world of goo install, and modify that, and that it does not harm your original in any way. (i hope ;P )
* Is there a reason that the checkboxes don't do anything?
* A way to check if there is a newer version of GooTool available
This next one is more down the road, but just wanted to throw it out there, and i understand you are working on a "download module" which maybe similar to this.
Basically, an easy way to explore, download, and install the addins. Now this probably isn't necesarry for a while, but I imagine once its easy to create and install custom levels, this site is going to explode with visitors. It would be cool if it was in the program, so you could download a list (if you have used a linux distro with package management thats basically what i'm going to describe) and look at the description, and choose to install it. The program will download it for you, and enable it if you wish.
Thanks,

Thanks for these suggestions Jonas:
* Drag and Drop installing of Addons. So you can drag a file from your desktop to mod list and install it.
I'll look into this. I'm definitely going to try and add a file association so you can double-click goomod files and install them directly from the web. My current wrapper (launch4j) doesn't make this very easy.
* And/Or add the multiselect option to the fileselect box, so you can select more than one at a time.
Done
Will be in 0.9.5.
* Is there a reason that the checkboxes don't do anything?
In the addins list? Yes, because I didn't understand the Java table model back when I wrote that table. So you need to use the Enable/Disable buttons for now to activate the checkboxes. I'll be fixing this!
* A way to check if there is a newer version of GooTool available
On the TODO list for 0.10
Basically, an easy way to explore, download, and install the addins. ...
My intentions for this are:
* User browses this site for addins, downloads them and GooTool installs them.
* GooTool notes any dependencies and asks user if they want to auto-download them.
* GooTool can check for updates to installed addins and auto-download them from this site.
So a bit like a package management system, except the initial selection is through this site. If you've ever used the Curse client, that's almost exactly what I'm intending.

Ah, yeah file associations would be just as good as drag and drop, and (i assume?) easier to get working, if your wrapper gets in the way of Drag and Drop.
I look forward to the multiselect and check boxes, as well as the version checking
Sweet. I have used the curse client, it's very handy. It does have a way to search for addons inside the Curse Client though, and I prefer that, as i find their site cumbersome, especially with all the scantily clad girls they have on every. single. page. But i don't think that will be a problem here
