Was able to get the modes in without too much trouble.
Now there are two modes,
Basic and
Advanced. Basic mode only operates on the friends list, and has a minimal information panel with just the most important details. The only thing you can do in this mode is perform an Update if recommended. The program still need to be configured the first time it is run as described in previous posts, but after that it's as simple as clicking Update if recommended.
There are the three different states the program can detect while in
Basic mode:
1) No Update Needed - this is pretty straight forward, it just means all your character files are in sync, and nothing needs to be done...
[You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]
2) Update Recommended - this means that the program has detected an Update should be performed to sync the character files...
[You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]
3) Deletions Required - this means you have over 100 combined friend, and must switch to Advanced mode to delete enough so an Update can be performed...
[You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]
If the
Advanced mode is selected, it will look and work exactly as it did before, with full capability to update only selected character files, or copy/paste friends from one toon to another or one installation folder to another, etc...

Hopefully this makes it a little easier to use the tool in a simpler form, while at the same time allow for more complex operations if the user wants to work in Advanced mode.
