1.13.1 update bug

[vortexposer]

Latest stable update completely wiped all my custom categories for every game...
Please consider adding local backup function to restore user's custom categories.

It is going to take me over 10+ hours to recreate and assign literally 1000s of mods.

Won't even let App retrieve Nexus default category.

Backups have been in Vortex for a while now,  I use it all the time.
Go to Settings > Workarounds
Now scroll all the way to the bottom and you will see a windows titled: Caution and in there you will see 2 buttons, 1 is -Restore  (to restore a backup you made) and another -Create Backup, I'm sure you can take it from there.
It's always good to check all menus and settings of software we use so we know all the capabilities and also the change logs to see what changed or what was added
Have a good day.

That doesn't restore, nor backup custom categories.

Could be added next to "Retrieve (default) category"

Which is also broken by update

Wait if you have not done it how do you know it's doesn't back it up? a bit odd to state that as a fact when you have not tried it...
Also it did erase what you had so you won't be able to backup nor see them now, it should have been before the update.
Sorry but well fix it again and now you know once you are done back it up, I myself learned the hard way, but both my backups for steam and GoG skyrim work when I restore
All mine are in place minus the new ones I have not assigned from manually added mods and the backup shows it and on the 2nd screenshot,  notice the missing category under the line "bugMessage" where it should be as I have not set a category for it.
