1) Add a help/about button with link to the GitHub page. 2) Add the possibility to refresh or rescan mods. If you install or remove a mod while the launcher is running, there's no way but to restart it. 3) Add sorting buttons in the profiles tab. 4) Maybe add Workshop links column in the mods tab.

  1. Yes, will probably spin up a few page wiki explaining a few features about things, it all just takes time.
  2. It's currently possible to refresh the list of mods. I'll need to see what that does actually, if it only rescans already scanned folders or actually runs the startup process again.
  3. Sorting in what way? By what criteria? Profiles are mostly for just saving to a file so the active mods can be imported again.
  4. Workshop links can be accessed by right clicking the mod (next update offers the Steam link as well as the browser link options). I guess I can add the column option.

3) is probably not necessary if you will add the Workshop link column. I used the profiles tab for the possibility to open Workshop links with the least amount of work. But generally I thought it would be nice to be able to sort that tab in the same way as the mods one. By column names. I mean, typical windows behaviour I guess?

I'm just confused on profiles thing. If it's not necessary that's fine. It's just a text box with text put into it sorted by the groups (or the order the mods were loaded). It can't be sorted in any real practical way without adding a lot more effort to generating that output. Since it's not really intended for that use, I think the best option is just enabling link columns in the list.

Fair enough. Feel free to remove unneeded features too :D

Don't suppose you've figured out how to change the load order?? ;)
