1.7.0

Its been a while! I've been hard at work with other projects but I'm always willing to maintain this one, even though it's not the highest priority anymore

This update is mostly polishing already existing systems but I think this update had enough important changes to be warranted 1.7.0 rather than 1.6.2

I've had reports of disabled mod folders disappearing. While its totally possible this might be a bug that I cannot find, I think it is a misunderstanding that will be remedied in this patch.

In 1.6.1 and before, when you'd cancel an operation regarding files being moved around, the files that have been moved will say there. They will not be reverted back to their original place. This update fixes this oversight

1.4.0 - Linux Support

Linux Support

Today I announce the inclusion of the payday 2 linux community!
I have updated MMM to be compatible with linux I am very new to Linux so expect some oversights
For reference I developed/tested the linux update using Mint, so those oversights might have to do with other distros

I have also fixed a couple of bugs as well as added a small feature that will be built upon in the future.
This new feature is checking for modworkshop.net compatible mod updates, you can do this one mod at a time but I plan to have a button to check all available mods.
