[REL] JoneSoft Generic Mod Enabler (JSGME) v2.4 now available!

[JScones]

JoneSoft Generic Mod Enabler (JSGME) v2.4 is now available from http://jonesoft.jaennahre.com or via JSGME's Update feature.

Changes:
- Added ability to copy the list of activated mods to the clipboard
- Added /s switch for saving mod profiles
- Added new (online) Help file (requires internet connection)
- Now optimised for use with Microsoft Vista and Windows 7
- Minor modifications to the behaviour of the "Tasks..." menu

A minor update, but one that includes a number of new features.

The most obvious change is the enhanced compatibility with Vista/Windows 7. Apart from adopting the native look and feel, JSGME also navigates the wonderful world of UAC. The downside of this is the annoying "Do you want to allow..." popup every time you open JSGME (until I get my digital signature in order, which will alleviate it a little bit), but the upside is that you can install JSGME anywhere and not worry about UAC related problems (assuming, of course, that you click the "Yes" button on the popup ). Note though that while JSGME will now run happily in "\Program Files", the game itself may not...so this modification is not to be seen as a license to start installing games into "\Program Files" with gay abandon.

I STRONGLY RECOMMEND THAT ALL JSGME USERS UPDATE TO THIS LATEST VERSION! There are no benefits running an earlier version of JSGME.

INSTALLATION
JSGME can be installed one of two ways:

==1. CENTRAL INSTALLATION==
You can install the JoneSoft Generic Mod Enabler (JSGME) to a central location and point it to each of your games through creating shortcuts. To do this:

1. install JSGME to a central location (for example, “C:\Games\Generic Mod Enabler”). Keep the “Create a desktop icon” option selected in the installer
2. once installed, DO NOT RUN! Copy and paste the newly created JSGME desktop shortcut as many times as you have games and change the “Start in” folder of each shortcut to point to each game’s base folder. To change the “Start in” folder, right-click the shortcut, select “Properties” and then the “Shortcut” tab.
3. rename each shortcut to something meaningful, such as “JSGME - GameName1”, “JSGME - GameName2”, “JSGME - GameName3” and so on. To rename a shortcut, simply right-click the shortcut and select “Rename”

Using JSGME with subsequently installed games is simply a matter of copying, pasting and editing an existing shortcut (steps 2 and 3 above). And whenever JSGME is updated, you only need to install it once.

==2. SEPARATE INSTALLATION==
If you prefer, you can install separate copies of JSGME into each of your games. To do this, simply install JSGME to the base folder of the game that you would like to mod. The base folder usually contains the game’s main executable file and usually has a name unique to the game. If in doubt, consult the game’s online community. If you keep the “Create a desktop icon” option selected, the installer will add a uniquely named shortcut to your desktop.
