Description:
Please add a native, persistent option to "Ignore Updates" for individual mods. Currently, users who want to stay on an older version of a mod have to rely on third-party extensions that only "reset" the update status temporarily (until the next Vortex restart). A built-in, permanent solution would be a significant Quality of Life improvement.
Use Case / Justification:
It is very common in modding to intentionally stick with an older version of a mod. This happens when a new update breaks compatibility with the rest of a modlist, introduces bugs, or removes a preferred feature. Constantly seeing the "Update Available" indicator for these specific mods creates visual clutter and can lead to accidental updates. Users need a way to tell Vortex, "I know there is an update, but I intentionally do not want it, so please stop checking/notifying me for this specific mod."
Expected Behavior:
- Add an "Ignore Updates" toggle or button to the right-click context menu (and/or the side details panel) for individual mods.
- When activated, Vortex permanently stops flagging that specific mod as requiring an update across all future sessions.
- The "Update Available" icon is hidden or replaced with an "Updates Ignored" icon.
- The user can easily reverse this by selecting "Enable Updates" from the same menu if they change their mind.
As additional feature, we need possibility to check/verify ignored mods - for example some view or list/filter with ignored mods.
