vortex issue/suggestion

[mmd123]

so, as nobody that knows me will be shocked to see me say, I do things in bulk, so when I'm trying to set up my new profile for skyrim mods, first time actually TRYING to do so, after googling a few things and watching a youtube video, I'm uninstalling certain mods in bulk, so its got on average say, 10 uninstallations queued up, and then the issue happens that is why I'm making this possible feature request.

 

so, when vortex is trying to manage multiple mods at once, it sometimes hangs itself up, and then has an "access denied" popup, stating IT ITSELF, is locking snapshot.json file ITSELF, and requesting either to cancel, or retry, siting that premissions are too tight, just because it cannot seem to recognize that it itself is locking the file while it works on the current mod it is working with.

 

is there any way that you guys can somehow tweak its code so that it realizes this, and waits for itself to finish with the file its currently working on thats locking itself from working on the other file its apparently having a fit over?

 

to me that seems like it would be an easy enough fix, but I'm a terrible programmer so do not quote me on knowing that one way or another.

How are you uninstalling mods en masse?


Are you clicking on a mod in the MODS TAB, then using CTRL + A to select all the mods, and then selecting UNINSTALL from the little white menu that pops up at the bottom?

If you think this is a bug, then submit a report to the developers through the Vortex feedback channel (three dots on upper right of Vortex UI). However, I don't think it is a bug. You need to proceed in the manner described by HTR in the above post.
