    I install a mod, which doesn't work, or later gets deprecated and I have unistall. The package I installed was called 'SomeAceMod.rfcmp' so, look for this in mod manager, can I find it? No, it's been installed to some other name called FISICarMod so, I have a chance in hell of finding it, because I assume that the guy who created it was diligent enough to name it well.

    The naming conventions of packages and mods could do with refining, as trying to manage mods is also quite painful, there is no reference to the package name to the mods from within mod manager.

    Tell the modder that. All our files follow a naming outline. :)

    And yes there is reference. Click on the mod and the bottom left fills with info.

    Don't keep too many uninstalled mods in your package folder. That way you can scroll which mods are uninstalled and you know that it's the mod you just downloaded, simple, no names needed.
