🛡️ EDF Mod Manager

A Windows desktop mod manager for the Earth Defense Force series, supporting EDF 4.1, EDF 5, and EDF 6.

Built with WPF (.NET 10), MVVM architecture, and ModernWpfUI for a clean Windows 11-style interface.

Features

• Multi-game support — Switch between EDF 4.1, EDF 5, and EDF 6 from a single app
• Load order management — Drag-and-drop reordering with undo/redo support (up to 10 steps)
• Conflict detection — Automatically detects file conflicts between mods; higher priority wins
• One-click apply — Builds a winner map, cleans old files, copies winners, and saves the registry
• Mod metadata — Reads mod_info.json for author, description, and version info
• Settings persistence — Remembers game paths, theme, font, and preferences across sessions
• Toast notifications — Non-intrusive status messages with auto-dismiss
• Dark/Light theme — Follows system theme or manual override via ModernWpfUI
• Error logging — Detailed error log saved to %AppData%\EDFModManager\error.log
