BeamNG Mod Manager 🧡 v0.5.4: Smarter duplicates, Safer deletes & Clearer "Mod Storage" info!

Hey everyone! 👋

v0.5.4 is a big one for keeping your library clean and your mods safe. Here's what's new:

🔍 Much smarter duplicate detection

• Exact, byte-for-byte copies and "likely the same mod" (different version or build) now show up as separate, clearly labelled sections — so you can tell a true duplicate from just-a-newer-version at a glance.

• It's far more accurate now, using each mod's version and last-updated info instead of guessing — way fewer false matches.

• And the count next to Duplicates finally matches what's actually inside. 😅

🗑️ Safer deletes

• Deleting a mod's .zip now sends it to the Recycle Bin instead of erasing it — so a mistaken delete is always recoverable.

• The Delete button (and the Delete key) now opens a clean centered confirm with an "Also delete the .zip" option.

📦 Say hello to "Mod Storage"

• Your library is now called Mod Storage — the one shared home for all your BeamNG and BeamMP mods.

• New Set to Default button, plus a friendly warning if you ever try to put it inside BeamNG's game folder (where "Clear Cache" could wipe it out).

✨ Polish

• Select All now toggles to Deselect, added a Telegram link, and the upgrade celebration got vibrant animated Player/Supporter badges.

🔒 And under the hood: Your catalog and Load-outs are now backed up and recovered if a file ever gets corrupted — instead of silently lost. Peace of mind. 🧡

The manager's still completely FREE. Player/Supporter unlocks unlimited Load-outs, detection tools, and all the themes — and keeps development moving.

Cheers!
