Monster Knockout Workshop Uploader — Rework

New:

Locked Preview Image Folder

  • Added a dedicated Preview Image folder for thumbnails:

    • C:\\Users\\<User>\\AppData\\LocalLow\\SpotPixle Studios\\Monster Knockout Workshop Uploader\\Preview Image\[/c]

  • The preview image selector is now locked to this location (so thumbnails must be chosen from that folder).

Thumbnail Requirements (Enforced)

  • Workshop preview images are now validated and must be:

    • 640×360 (exactly)

    • PNG or JPG/JPEG only

    • Under 1MB

  • The uploader will show clear errors if your image doesn’t match the rules.

Selective Updates (Update Only What You Want)

  • Updating an existing Workshop item no longer forces you to re-upload everything.

  • Update mode now includes toggles so you can choose what to update:

    • Title

    • Description

    • Content (JSON)

    • Preview Image

    • Tags

    • Visibility

  • If Content/Preview are not enabled, the uploader won’t re-upload them.

Optional “No-Navigation” Preview Selector (Dropdown Mode)

  • If enabled in the UI, the uploader can show a dropdown list of valid thumbnails found inside the Preview Image folder.

  • The dropdown only lists images that already pass the rules (640×360 PNG/JPG), preventing invalid picks.

  • Added convenience buttons (if hooked up in UI):

    • Open Preview Folder

    • Refresh Preview List

    • Display the current preview folder path in the UI


Improvements

  • Safer Update Mode behaviour

    • If you turn off Content/Preview updates, the uploader clears any selected file so you don’t accidentally re-upload it.

    • Fields and controls become interactable/non-interactable based on what you’ve chosen to update.

  • Improved upload staging

    • Content staging is only created when Content is being updated.

    • Optional setting to stage the preview image inside the content folder (useful for certain Workshop setups).

  • More reliable Workshop operations

    • Automatic retries for Steam “Busy” responses during Create/Submit.

    • Workshop legal agreement prompt opens automatically if Steam requires it.


Workshop Management Features (Included)

  • My Uploads tab with:

    • Item list showing title, item ID, tags, and preview thumbnail

    • Buttons for:

      • Edit

      • Open on Workshop (Steam Overlay)

      • Delete (with confirmation)

  • Tag system:

    • Tag dropdown auto-populates from Workshop scanning (plus default tags)

    • Max tags enforced (4)

    • Tag chips UI for quick removal

  • Visibility options:

    • Public / Friends Only / Private / Unlisted

  • Upload includes:

    • Change notes field

    • Progress/status readout during submission
