I took the time to explain why I'm not implementing the feature, at least not in the way the OP requested (or how I read the request) because I want our development process to be transparent. That's why we scrapped it, that's why it's not in Vortex now and can't be added until the next mayor release (2.0) because it would require us migrating the user database.Ī) I don't need to be vindicated because I don't need your approval. That's not a contradiction, if you think it is you should spend more time reading what people wrote and less being rude.Ĭ) I proposed this exact change on the forum more than half a year ago and no one said they liked it.

Mate, you are completely out of line and unless your next post is an apology, don't reply.Ī) I can't automatically install to a drive other than C, it would always have to be set by the userī) It would have to be a separate dir for each drive, each of which users would have to set manually. Besides the dev's want suggestions so stop trying to tell people that they're wrong for wanting something you don't like. Well we aren't you and probably have more games to care about so automating something that takes additional time is frustrating when other programs all ready do it.

I get it, people want to save time, your saying deal with it cause you don't need it. How you can honestly think I missed the point is beyond me.

I don't know how you do things but I'd rather play a game and make things go as quickly as possible, not fiddling with setting after setting to migrate all 20 of my games I used NMM on, that did allow the directory to be automated btw because it remembered where other mods were put, so for us to have to take extra step for each and every single game by making dir after dir is TIME CONSUMING. Here is the point you're missing, when you have games installed on separate drive(s) for whatever reason, it's an additional step the end user has to take every single time. In short you said it can't be done, than you suggest a system wide predefined fix and then say I'm missing the point?

The OP and myself want Vortex to allow a default directory, how it can be handled is open for debate, but you pointed out it can't be done when you later contradicted yourself by saying it could be defaulted to a dir per drive. I believe you want your scenario to fit so your can feel vindicated. But when I open settings it's set to whatever game I viewed last, with no way to change it to a different game or all.' It seems like it could easily be applied to every single game. This issue is just about an automatism that might save you a few seconds when you start managing a new game.Īre you sure? The OP said 'Every time I add a game I have to change the staging folder directory to my D drive. Vortex already allows you to change where Vortex stores mods, it had this feature from the very first release. I think you're missing the point of this thread. QOL is important but certainly not a top priority but should be considered. This is a feature we do need if people are going to migrate over. Especially when people have a slow inet speed, shared PC, the C is a low capacity SSD but the gaming drive is much larger HDD and ETC. This is an important feature for me and probably many others due to the fact my C is for our OS only and we put games on other drives. The program can be set to default there sure but a program can be told to put the directory somewhere else after the initial setup.
