Although I disagree with item 2... if a admin installs a language at another time after the mod install, how do you expect them to then get the languages installed for that mod for their new language? Uninstall and reinstall the mod?

Same way an admin INSTALLS THE MOD ONTO THEIR NEW THEME :P LOL.

But you agree with the points and that it's discouraging to mod authors. That's what I was pointing out.
I'm not expecting it to be incorporated into 2.0. I would absolutely LOVE it to be but I really don't see it happening. Everyone's too anti-changes to 2.0 lol. I'm just sad cause I came in when it was frozen :(.
Kindred:
it is a good idea, Jade... I typically make my own edits, removing such files... (although I don't see how someone could think they were bad files, LOL)
and, as you recognize, 2.0 is technically feature frozen.
It is probably a fairly minor adjustment which could make its way into 2.1

No he was worried because he thought the forum would think Turkish or what ever was installed....and because he was getting notices about bandwidth but I fixed that for him :D.

I don't see why really small adjustments can't make it to 2.0. I mean, if you want it to be tested I will give hours to test to have these changes made. I'm willing to put work in to help, because I feel with these rather small edits we could encourage a lot more mods and more compatibility for them :).
I think some of the "NO WE CANT IT'S FROZEN" moments are over dramatic. Some changes would be very fast and simple to implement and test, and prevent a fair bit of pain.
SlammedDime:
Maybe because I'm a seasoned mod author, but even when I wasn't, I didn't see either of these things as issues that would have kept me from making mods...
BTW, moved this to Feedback and Discussion, it's more appropriate there.
aw06:
When you install a theme it should be default... and the old default renamed to default-orig lol ...
Naw, just kidding, that makes no sense dwl :P
