Suggestion - Removing a collection removes shared mods #10384

Open VortexFeedback opened 2 years ago

VortexFeedback commented 2 years ago

Vortex Version: 1.5.0-r42+internal Memory: 15.81 GB System: win32 x64 (10.0.19043) Problem: When removing a collection in the Collections" tab, if you also remove its mods, said mods get removed even if they are part of another collection. This makes managing more than one collection difficult. Proposed behaviour: When removing a collection and its mods, said mods should only be removed if they are not part of another collection. As an option (maybe a checkbox or a prompt), make it possible to force remove all mods even if they are part of another collection.

This is being debated internally as well.

Was browsing to see another issue had been reported when I saw this. To me, this is an obvious no brainer. If a mod was present before a collection was installed, if the collection gets removed, it shouldn't take that mod with it.

Mods should not be removed when a collection is removed. Period.

Luckily, I recently removed all my collections because of way too many revisions. My mods remained. - Thank you!

If you ever would do something that would remove mods, please make it with a "multipage supported" question, possibly with options, if a user REALLY wants to remove these mods as well.
