[Feature] Ability to suppress missing file checks for files auto-deleted by mods

[kretze]

Is there an existing issue for this?

• I have searched the existing issues

Operating System

Windows 10

CKAN Version

1.35.0

Games

KSP 1

Game Version

1.12.5

Did you make any manual changes to your game folder (i.e., not via CKAN)?

No response

Describe the bug

CKAN now constantly checks the installed contents of the mods in the gamedata folder.
FAR has a file that is deleted after it has been imported once. As a result, CKAN constantly reports that the FAR file is missing and wants to install an update.

Steps to reproduce

install FAR
start KSP and exit
start CKAN again

same as #4205

same as #4205

Slightly different use case, though. In that one, the user has explicitly chosen to delete certain files, whereas with yours the mod itself is deleting one of its own files. At this point my expectation is that these would require different solutions.

This suggestion from the other issue fits better here:

A label option comes to mind for this. With a type "no compare" or "no file check".
Just like it's currently done with "don't upgrade".

Is this related to the filter extension in the content tab? That didn't happen before.
Commit: Apply filters to Contents tab, red highlight if missing

Therefore this was not reported in V1.34.4 and earlier, correct?

Hi @kretze, right, the missing file behavior is new in v1.35.0, see #4067.

To add to this, this also causes issues with Zero MiniAVC, as any mods it prunes then state that they need to be updated.

[HebaruSan]

@Delta-86, yes, it's a good idea to uninstall ZeroMiniAVC anyway, see KSP-CKAN/NetKAN#10230.
