I've just run the Cosmos patcher (2.15) and noticed some very unwanted behaviour.
I have the german version of Atlas installed and have both a 'nopatch' file inside the Atlas directory itself and an 'Atlas.nopatch' file in the AddOns directory.
Now the patcher doesn't seem to care about those and happily kills/overwrites all the files inside Atlas/Images. Never mind what files they are and why I want them to stay as they are - The patcher should never stick it's nose inside any directory X once it finds a X.nopatch file above or a nopatch file inside that directory.
I don't know what's going on, but it's weird - seems like the 'nopatch' flag isn't correctly inherited by subfolders of a flagged folder...
