Vortex sometimes forgets that some mods are installed

If I've installed a mod recently, close vortex at some point and then open it again later on, Vortex has seemingly forgotten

that the mod is installed. The mod reappears in the downloads tab with install as a selectable action.

The mod is in fact still installed, so when you try to install again, you naturally get the prompt to cancel, rename. or replace.

Replacing the mod will fix it and i haven't had a mod become a repeat offender later on.

Other times, replacing the mod doesn't actually reinstall the mod either. Doing a second reinstall will actually install the mod.

This has happened about 3-4 times since I've first started using Vortex around a month ago.

 

The games i'm currently testing with and I've experienced this bug with are Skyrim Special Edition and Fallout 4.

i'm getting this only on one specific handling.

 

Downloaded Mod is not recognized as installed

1. Click NMM Link on nexusmods.com Mod Page

2. Vortex opens and starts to download

3. Click "Install" over Notification

4. Click "Activate" over Notification

5. Close Vortex and Open it again.

6. Check Mods: You find the Mod as installed and the downloaded zip file marked as never insalled.

7. Check Downloads: The downloaded ZIP-File is still listed with the option to install.

 

Downloaded Mod is recognized as installed

1. Click NMM Link on nexusmods.com Mod Page

2. Vortex opens and starts to download

3. Click "Install" over Downloads Dropdownmenu

4. Click "Activate" over Notification

5. Close Vortex and Open it again.

6. Check Mods: You find the Mod as installed, no loose zip-file marked as "never installed".

7. Check Downloads: Thehe downloaded ZIP-File is not listed.

 

It seems that this only happens when you install mods over the notifications instead of the menu in the download section.
