Import collection from steam api

[changhe3]

Currently exported.json is very convoluted. I wish the mod manager can simply import a collection from a list of mod id.

exported.json is something that Irony uses and it's not meant for people to use it or other tools. It's much more accurate than using an id. If it were to use steam ids only how would Irony know how to import paradox hosted mods which have their own ids or locally shared mods without any ids?

If you want to export\import via easier means you can just use mod name export\import which is available via right click menu: https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/692727670408085525/969661363133751306/Video.mp4

I do not see any advantages of using with this idea. Perhaps you would like to elaborate?

Basically many collection authors order the mods the same way as load order. This order can be easily obtained via an API call. (That call also returns linked collections which can be filtered away.) It would be great if the mod manager can import the mod order from this.

That's what you mean. Didn't guess by the title. Could be handy but definitely not a priority.
