It was never a problem in 0.4.10 though, it was only when switching to .11 that any issue arose.
The folder which caused the problem wasn't even a mod, I was just using it to store some mod-related spreadsheets.

Re: [Tool] GUI for installing and updating mods from GitHub
I was thinking about this a bit more. If you put the gitsync button on the main modstore window would be very convenient Then you could use lua code to overwrite gitsync from a separate syncronised directory after exiting (if this is needed), then it would be kept up to date Also if you set up a sep...

Multiple bugs with character texture display
*The server/admin player is by default white with *no head*. *If you change the player texture (eg with [mod] Wardrobe) the player gets a head back (both with F7 and viewing from client version).

Re: Database Backend Questions
Did you compile Minetest with Redis support? redis was already installed before I compiled both versions of minetest (I accidentally recompiled .10, then subsequently a new compile of .11 to see if that supported.

Never comes to front (Ubuntu 14.04) v0.4.11
If a window is placed over top of minetest selecting minetest with alt-tab, or the unity menu doesn't bring it to the front.
And it's always last on the list (implying it's behind every other window)

Yet I still wonder how minetest got them files mixed.

Thinking about it I possibly had noclip on (sorry can't test it now as I've reverted to .10). So it probably wasn't a bug, just that minetest was too slow to be able to load and display the ground I was flying over so it appeared as a hole.
