Version Emulate Dropdown

(1/2) > >>

Jessica.:
There is currently a mod -- http://www.simplemachines.org/community/index.php?topic=334952 -- for 1.x that provides a drop down for the versions. For 2.0.x, you have to type it in. I know it's easy to type it in, but in my opinion, it's much easier having a drop down. So I'm hoping that in the future the emulate box will change to a drop down.

IchBin™:
I'm hoping this will happen in the future too! In fact, I'll add something to the bug tracker so we won't forget. :)

Spuds:
Spuds nudges IchBin to look at the 2.1 package manager page ;)  It has a dropdown list plus a first pass at "smart" emulation where it auto picks the closest version, on a per mod basis, if no install instructions are available for the version you are running. 

IchBin™:
haha, you rock Spuds. Ema told me to take a look at the current stuff. Haven't had a chance to look at all the fanciness you added. That's purdy sweet! Who needs a drop down anyway! ;)

That defeats the purpose of mod versioning. Why not just remove it altogether if that "adaptive" emulation is implemented?
