#11 Use of a change log for assisting in MOD uninstalls

Hi,

May be a silly idea, but what if each MOD install added
entries to a changelog file which is kept in the
admin/easymod folder.

I know currently youneed ot uninstall you MODs in
reverse order should you want to uninstall a MOD
completely.
Then reinstall those you just uninstalled....
This is done by restoring the back-up files taken
during the install process.

But what if there was a changelog.
EasyMOD could simply refer to it and undo the changes
it made as per the changelog?

This rather than the restore of the backup files..
This would then allow users to uninstall a MOD at any
time, in whatever order they wished.

Or am I barking up the wrong tree?

Luck..

Instead of a changelog, the MOD text file can be used to
do the uninstall without using the backup text files.
E.g:-
Covert a
##----[ FIND ]--------------
<find string>
##----[ AFTER, ADD]---------
<new additions>

To
##----[ FIND ]--------------
<find string>
<new additions>
##----[ REPLACE ]-----------
<find string>

so on and so forth. I hope this should work for all
available actions.
