    Is this extension dead? Doesn't seem to be compatible with latest vortex, unless I am missing something.

    I feel kinda dumb for asking this but, how do you install someone else's showcase into your modlist?

      That's not supported. As the docs say, the purpose of showcases is just to share a selection of mods, if you want to be able to install them as well, check out the upcoming Collections feature on the site.

    I love the Modwatch and Showcase extensions for Vortex, but with the recent Beta version of Vortex I'm getting a ctd when I try to post a Showcase using the Markdown and the compact Markdown options.  The option for Modwatch works fine though.  I don't use the other options so can't say about those.   Just wanted to let you know... thanks for this extension.

    Love the idea of this. The one thing I'd like to see is the automatic conversion of BBCode/HTML from mod descriptions to markdown when you're exporting  as markdown.

    It's great to have an output in a format that you can display easily, but then you end up with ugly blocks of bbcode or HTML smattered in.

    An example of this to test against can be seen here.

      Yeah that would be nice but sadly that's a very complex prospect based on my testing. There's a lot of edge cases that can lead to bigger problems in the output. I'll have a look again at adding support for that when I can.

    The download link for today's update leads to Error 404 "No such page."

      I just downloaded it fine, but if you're having issues, I'd recommend installing from Vortex's Extensions pane and see if it works there.

    a minor suggestion you should change the format the of the plane txt
    to be more like this

      Thanks for the suggestion! I'll poke around with a  more compact format and see if I can find one I like.

    Maybe add the option to export it as a PDF? If this is possible?

      Thanks for the suggestion! I suspect that will be too complex to integrate easily, but I'll definitely have a play around with it and see if it's doable.

      If you have somehow discovered a way to make it work at all and it provides Text output, simply "Print" the Text list to Microsoft PDF Writer  (included with Windows 10) or CutePDF (3rd-party)  or any other PDF writer. There is no need for the extension author to provide functionality that already exists on all Windows machines.

      I've already responded to your comment with instructions. Actually, directly printing to the Windows PDF writer is extremely difficult compared to doing it directly since that requires creating a "document" that the PDF printer will understand. I'll look into PDF support, but no guarantees.

    Does anyone know how to make this thing go? I installed the Extension, and it shows up in my Extensions pane, but there is no button, control, link or shortcut anywhere to launch it, nor any interface. Double-clicking the extension in the Extensions pane does nothing.

    The Description page says "How to use it" and then, perversely, provides generic Extension installation instructions (instead of how to USE it) and the unhelpful statement "...and you should be good to go." Not a word on how to actually make the thing generate any modlists.

    Thanks in advance for any help.

      Ah, you're right, I'll have to update those instructions. There's much better information (including instructions) available in the online docs.

      In short, there should be a new "Create Showcase" button in the top bar of your Mods page to create showcases based on all your mods, or you can select some mods from your list and use the "Create Showcase" button in the action bar at the bottom.

    I'm kind of ashamed to ask this, not gonna lie, but has anyone else experienced massive freezes when trying to export 4-digit modlists?

      That's definitely possible. I was only ever able to test with my own mod lists, and that topped at at about 250 mods, but the performance for enormous mod lists is something I need to look closer at. Essentially, there will always be a bit of a slowdown for larger mod lists, but I need to look into how I can possibly improve it for those extremely large mod lists.

      yeah, it was very sudden for me - Worked like a charm with a slight delay at 900-something, but when I hit 1k it straight up started fully freezing my PC and stuff when I tried to export. I think it might not be able to handle 4 digits somehow?

      Ah, that's interesting: there's definitely nothing digit based so that won't be it, but it will be something in one of those last few mods that you installed that is probably making the whole process slower, seeming to "tip it over"

    Works pretty well. One issue I did observe was that the BBcode seems off.

      Click on the spoiler. That is my showcase export results. The line breaks aren't right. Scroll down to at least Vilja to see what I mean.

      Ah, I see it now! Yeah, looks like those descriptions have the actual HTML in them, including those line breaks you're seeing. That should be fixable, I'll look into it.

      Thanks for reporting!
