Mod installed/enabled time #350

Closed VortexFeedback closed 4 years ago

VortexFeedback commented 6 years ago

Is it possible to add a date and time for when a mod was last installed/enabled?

There is a column that gives you the install time of a mod, we don't currently track the enable time but that wouldn't be too hard to do.

The "enabled time" would be fantastic for troubleshooting. I'm guessing I am not alone when I install/enable several mods at once, then experience a crash or other game problems. "If" you remember which of the hundreds of modes you most recently enabled, you can disable them and then one by one track down the offending mod. Time consuming and frustrating. If I had the time enabled, I could slowly work backwards to the offender. Thx for the consideration and the great software!

Vortex Version: 1.0.3 Memory: 15.92 GB System: win32 x64 (10.0.18362) My suggestion is to add timestamp that can be sorted when listing Uninstalled/Disabled/Enabled mods.

Fundamentally tracking when mods are installed is fundamental to tracking issues within a person's game. For instance you may need to remove mods or add mods to fix a crash. As you enable and disable mods throughout the list It's easy to lose track of which ones have been Enabled/Disabled. This makes it complicated to track down changes when testing for an error or crash. With the feature implemented I can look back at enabled mods that may have caused the crash. Then use deductive reasoning to test which of the is really the issue. Now only a small number of mods to troubleshoot doesn't seem like much but this same process can be applied to larger modlist effectively My current workaround is to clone the profile but is inefficient as it only reverts to a previous state but tells me nothing of what's changed in that state.

Vortex Version: 1.2.8 Memory: 31.89 GB System: win32 x64 (10.0.18363) a timestamp to help narrow down misbehaving mods during the enabling/disabling process
