Currently manifest.json is read from the root directory. When originally downloaded this file is placed next to the rest of the modpack. It would be useful to specify this location instead so that the script can automatically download the mods into this folder; requiring fewer manual steps to get the files in the right location.
As of now it is unclear what this workflow would look like exactly because this would tightly couple the location of the manifest file and the output directory.
Some possible approaches:
CurseForge always tries to read the manifest.json file from the output directory.
Possibly a prompt or argument to the CurseForge provider specifying the location of the manifest file. This would, however, require the user to manually change the output directory in the config everytime.
