First off thanks for making a great patcher. So many folks fail to realize that if you can't install/update your software, it's worthless. In using the latest patcher, here's some feedback:

1) On Windows, why do I have to select the WoW directory? Could this info not be pulled from the HKLM\Software\Blizzard Entertainment\World of Warcraft\InstallPath key?
2) There are alot of options available in the patcher UI and I'm not sure what all of them are. Some sort of help would be appreciated. All the info I wanted was found on the wiki, but it would be very helpful if there was something simple, like a tooltip, that gave a quick blurb about each option.
3) Your data grids are difficult to use on both XP and OS X.
3.1) On XP, when I pull up the AddOn Manager not all of the column headings display. I have to resize columns to find out what they are (because I am, after all, a dumb user). It would be nice if everything showed by default AND if I could resize the dialog with the intention that it would give me more/less room for the data grid.
3.2) Same comments for OS X.
4) In the AddOn Manager, the default column size does not have room for a sort indicator. When you click a column heading to sort, you don't receive any feedback that a sort has occurred (especially if all of the fields have the same value).
5) In the AddOn Manager, what's up with the semi-circle on top of (Mac)/below (Windows) the data grid scroll bar?

Again, thanks for a great app!
