[Feature] "Reference Only" lists #9

Open phinocio opened 5 months ago

phinocio commented 5 months ago

The idea is that a list marked as "reference only" would serve to indicate that it's sole purpose is as a reference for what mods are in said list. It would disable the download buttons and the show disabled toggle on the modlist.txt view.

The main use-case for this would likely be Wabbajack lists.

One issue with disabling the view disabled toggle is that optional mods - ones that are shipped as disabled - would then also be completely hidden from the UI.

One solution to that is to split up the visibility toggles into 2 different check boxes, but I don't really want to do that.

Also note that due to how files are stored on the server, it's not possible to entirely prevent downloading of a file.

End result for this will probably end up being "do nothing" fwiw

The specific issue of

People see 1000 as the number of mods because 400 are disabled, and 300 of those 400 are entirely for dev related purposes, leading to users thinking the list is much larger than it actually is and getting confused

that this could solve, will likely be solved by re-indexing the number of mods based on the state of the show disabled toggle, so that when it is disabled it at least only shows N as the number of mods, where N is the number of enabled mods.
