• Uploading is complete with the exception of verification thotts servers can read the data.

v3.0 release candidate 3 (private Release)

• Fixed bug with files that were to be installed in disabled but the install location was changed to enabled and the file would still install in disabled.

v3.0 release candidate 2 (Private Release)

• Finished the data generation for data uploading courtesy of Thott who provide the missing details.
• Update button now reads Install if Cosmos.txt isn't found. Doesn't change it's behavior just better indication of that Cosmos isn't installed. Yeah you can fake the wording of the button out but it'll just replace the file and update anything that needs to update when you click Install
• Moved Uninstall button to the main window from configuration and change it's enabled state based on whether Cosmos is installed.
• Added cancel Button to update process which is just the update button doing something different.

• Changed error message for not finding Interface, AddOns and DisabledAddons folders stating that they would be created.
• Added an Uncheck all button in the Installer window.
• Fixed install bug. When the list was being built for addons to install the item was not being check for install. Thus having all items checked by default and clicking continue install would not install anything because internally the field marking the file for installation was false.
• Added some advanced features that can be all disabled with a check box.
• Added the advanced feature of hiding the progress text.
• Added the advanced feature to reduce the number of times that DoEvents is called to update and handle refreshes of the progress text. The number is user settable
• Fixed the restore cleaned process it was broken it seems.
• Fixed bug where files in the disabled folder were not checked to see if they existed causing them to be marked as changed even if they were not.

TODO: verify the cache building code works correctly and Get with Thott to verify data uploads are succesful. TODO: Check and fix a problem with uploading on opening.

BUG: There seems to be a bug in handling controls with in a canvas control where they are not properly ignored when not visible. This is most likely an RB bug and there seems to be no good workaround other than to make all the controls visible and forgo the scrolling feature *Blah* :(.
