Now this would
really be a bandaid for sloppy housekeeping. I mean, creating *two* backups? Nah...
Personally I think that if users have the HD space they should create a backup of their games *before* making any changes. If something then goes wrong, there's no need to hunt out the original disc and reinstall, just simply delete the dodgy installation and recopy from the clean backup. Easy.

The Activated Mods list displays the mods in the order in which they were enabled, so there's no chance of forgetting the order you enabled them.
To answer your main question though, yes, JSGME maintains a record of what mods have changed what files. JSGME will not allow you to disable a mod that has had files modified by subsequently enabled mods.

Sorry, this would be too confusing. JSGME copies the folders and files from the mod folder into the game as it finds them (hence why file structure is so important). Adding an extra layer of subfolders will break the file/folder integrity required to ensure the files get correctly placed into the game and will simply make things messy to manage.
My advice would be to rename your mods with consistent naming if you want to keep them together. Alternatively, you can combine separate mods yourself into one folder structure if you know you'll always want to enable them all together.

It's in - if JSGME is open you can drag and drop folders from Explorer, Desktop etc and JSGME will move them into the MODS folder for you.

The next release will include something like this, but not visible to the general user, and not this elaborate. A user-friendly report might come in a later version, once it's clear *exactly* what would provide most benefit.

Poor user housekeeping and manually deleting files can hardly be considered a bug in JSGME - user's must take
some responsibility for their actions. However, see post above; this issue is now hopefully moot.

I must be misunderstanding your problem - players have added new ships, planes etc (ie new folders and files) for years without any problems.

Right-click any available mod and select "Explore".
