Linux-first TUI mod manager for Baldur's Gate 3

Profiles | Overrides | SigilLink Cache | Intelligent Ranking

SigilSmith is a keyboard-first TUI mod manager built for Linux. It’s designed for fast scanning, clean layout, and safe deployment.

Drag & drop mods, build profiles, search and sort instantly, resolve per-file conflicts with Overrides, and let SigilLink handle fast deploys and smart ordering while still respecting your manual choices.

What’s New (0. 5. 0 → 0. 9. 0)

This update is a major systems + UX leap: caching, smarter ranking, better conflict resolution, better import/export, and stronger safety rails.

• []SigilLink Cache + Fast Deploy

  []Deploy uses hardlinks when possible (same drive) and symlinks when needed (across drives); no slow full-copy routine.

  []Transactional imports with staging and safe cancel behavior.

  []Settings tools to move/clear caches and recover cleanly when needed.

• []Onboarding + toggle to enable intelligent ranking.

  []Auto-ranks after import/enable to keep stacks sane as your library grows.

  []Pins preserve your manual intent; reset pins when you want SigilLink fully in control again.

  []Diff previews show what moves before it applies (and can be set to auto-accept).

• []Redesigned for speed: fast scrolling, inline winner selection, candidate picker.

  []Clear “more below” indicators and better panel sizing for real-world mod lists.

  []Optional debounce/auto-apply behaviors to prevent rapid-fire mistakes.

• []SigilSmith JSON export/import (full fidelity: order + enabled + overrides).

  []modsettings.lsx import/export for interop workflows (BG3MM/Vortex-style pipelines).

  []Preview modal shows destination/mode, and handles missing/ambiguous entries without wrecking your stack.

• []Missing mods can appear as placeholders so your intended order stays intact.

  []Dependency counts surfaced in-list; better prompts for enable/disable cascades.

  []Missing items can be found with quick search links (so you can re-import and continue).

  []Improved filtering for base-game/system dependencies to reduce false alarms.

[]More legible hotkeys/context, cleaner header/status layout, refined help overlay.

[*]Improved path br
