@pulsar pier Hey Insomnious, I just wanted to make a particular mention to one of these bugs I reported. Nagev viewed all of these and marked two of them as fixed, but one of them he actually said was never an intended feature, and I just wanted to make mention of something that I've noticed as a curator.

"Curated renamed mods are not renamed for the end-user" - When I go to my Mods tab in Vortex and rename mods on my end, then these mods are indeed saved in the collection upload when the end-user downloads the collection. This is what my RENAMED mods look like:

When users of my collections download my collection, then all of their mods will be replicated with the exact same mod name. And I'm certain that the original mod authors still receive all of their normal metadata. And no, I do not bundle these renamed mods in the collection; they are naturally renamed to match my Vortex profile.

#

I rename these mods because it is vastly easier for users to know what mods are what. There is standardization in everything I do for my mod list. All optional mods are renamed to have (OPTIONAL) in front of the mod name so that users very clearly know what mods are optional in the collection (user user tastes and preferences), and I also rename mods to have consistency in their names. For example, if I have a mod from one author which is "Canvas Backpacks" and I have another mod from another author that is a patch, then I will name it "Canvas Backpacks - TTW patch" so that there is consistency in everything. Also, all mods which are named something like "a_cool_texture_mod_v1.5" would be renamed to "A Cool Texture Mod" to look much more professional and to be consistent with the rest of the mods (and Vortex already has the version number).

#

The reason I'm saying all of this is because I actually thought this truly was an intended feature and I really hope it may be. I've spoke with other curators with that discovery I found and they actually use the same system I do now.

Like the curator for WTNC started using it in one of his hidden collections and he loves it.
