Another feature request

[Gorsha]

I understand that in the description section of a mod you only can add nexus as source of the mod, which I obvious do when it is a manual downloaded mod. If you also fill in the nexus mod id, you can get the whole description.

Now I understand that it is not easy, even maybe impossible to add other websites with mods to this list.

But maybe it is possible, just like it was in NMM, to add manually some descriptions eventually with screenshot and a website link thru copy/paste.

There are many websites which contain mods. Even sometimes the majority of a game like ESO, and Sims for example.

Because I like to manage my mods with Vortex, for me it is a nice thing if it has an easy way to check for updates of a mod, and i like it if the descriptions are not blank.

Just my thoughts.

Hey Gorsha,

 

The functionality you're asking for usually relies on the service having a public API. This is a web address Vortex can query to retrieve metadata about mods. You can also encourage the authors of your favourite mods to come and join us at Nexus Mods which would make this a lot easier for you :)

Since this a recent post asking for features, I might as well piggyback. Two immediate features that I would like to see: a basic mod stat counter and a client refresh option for plugin/theme refreshing. Allow me to be more specific and properly worded on both.

 

When I go to my mods page, why can I not see the immediate stats for the mods that I have? In the orange toolbar at the top, with the mod options and all of that whitespace on the right? Why can't I see:

• The total of mods that I have
• How many mods are installed
• How many mods are enabled
• How many mods are disabled

This would make it so much easier to get a general idea of my modspace without having to scroll through the entire list and mentally piece it together. Within two hours, I already have 100+ mods that I've downloaded, so scrolling through the list with any lack of detail can quickly become a significant hindrance.

 

To the second point, the client refresh option. This is practically a necessity for active theme design and development. I haven't looked at the source yet, but I've seen both this option and an active refresh option for other Chromium site-apps, including frameworks like BetterDiscord and EnhancedDiscord. This means that I could hit something like Ctrl + R and have the app refresh without having to close out completely and re-launch the app. You could even have a passive listener or monitor for the active theme file that updates and reflects the changes almost instantly. Again, I don't know the structure or pipeline, but I would guess that an active resource updater wouldn't be too different in this instance. With such a feature, I could actually make a theme without wasting time and resources by re-opening the app for every slight change.

When I edit the Theme in the Theme Editor it changes the UI while I edit it

 

Also, are you talking about MODS or PLUGINS?

 

Do you mean like this?
