Mod Categories now missing from Plugins tab

[Fractalbase]

I previously had mods and associated plugins in their respective nexus categories.

I recently decided to refresh my install of Skyrim SE. So I disabled all of my mods in Vortex, and then uninstalled Skyrim SE in Steam, and then deleted the Skyrim SE folder.

I re-installed Skyrim SE from Steam, and then re-enabled all of my mods in Vortex and deployed.

The problem I'm having now is that, the plugins are all appearing in the Plugins tab of Vortex as they should, they just don't have mod categories.

The mods still have mod categories in the Mods tab.

I tried using "Guess IDs" from the Mods tab, but my Mods tab has all of this information, the mod categories are just missing from the Plugins tab.

Is there a reliable way to restore this information to plugins?

Did you PURGE the mods before you uninstalled Skyrim and deleted it?

What do you mean with PURGE? I didn't remove any mods from Vortex, I merely disabled all of my mods in Vortex and then deployed, so that they were not in the Skyrim SE folder before I uninstalled Skyrim SE.

I see now that there is a Purge Mods button on the top tool bar of the Mods tab. I wasn't aware of that before. No, I did not use that.
I've done this process in the past and never had any trouble or lost mod categories in the Plugins tab.

My game plays fine, btw, if that was a concern of yours.

When I did the re-install, Vortex updated to new versions like several times. And there are new features that weren't there before. For example, on the plugins tab, there is now a "tags" flag for some plugins with a tooltip. There is also the option to filter by this new flag, however, while there are plugins with the tag flag, filtering on the tag flag doesn't show any plugins having the tag flag, which is odd. This suggests to me that there is a problem with either my install of Vortex, or with the current version of Vortex that was installed. I am also wondering if this is why I'm not seeing mod categories on the plugins tab now.

Additional information:
I'm currently on Vortex version 1.4.6. Vortex updated several times after I re-installed Skyrim SE, and I don't know what version of Vortex I was on before I re-installed Skyrim SE.

I have 1480 mods downloaded, 1353 mods installed, and 1351 mods enabled.
I'm running Windows 10 x64 Pro with 64gb of RAM.

There is no error message currently.

The plugins tab just has the <Unspecified> category with 1063 plugins, of which 1046 are enabled; here is a screenshot: https://imgur.com/a/CK1nAYL

The mods tab appears to have all Nexus categories.

Here are my Vortex logs: https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/1DvPfl9gMYgBzruC9BtDhQUcQC58K1Yqh?usp=sharing
I'm not blocked with using Vortex or playing Skyrim SE in anyway, I just don't see mod categories anymore in the plugins tab.

I know this won't help you but I get the same issue as you see in your screenshot. However, as I have never used this column in my plugins tab, I don't know if this is a new thing, or if it's always been set like that.

That orange ICON you have inside the red square, CLICK IT so it reopens normally and expands the list properly

 

THe orange Icon indicates you have the mods GROUPED by category

Today I installed version 1.4.6 and can confirm that (for some of us at least) the "Mod Category" column on the plugins page is empty. When I press the "Group" icon, everything is lumped into the category "<unspecified>." I had no such problem in version 1.3.22, from which I updated.

 

EDIT: I have reported this issue to the devs via Vortex Feedback.
