Multi-file reinstall feature

Adding a "multi select" or "select all" feature to "My mods" would be super useful,since now we all have to reinstall existing mods into game one by one. All of my mods dissapeared,yet stayed in "My Mods" on curseforge and now I have to reinstall them one by one and it will take forever.

    Hey, thanks for writing your suggestion :]

    I also saw the chat on Discord and the screenshot you shared. Thing is, the mods you saw on CurseForge, weren't really there, since you deleted them from your 'my mods' folder, they only showed on CurseForge because it can't automatically detect they're gone, you need to do a new 'scan', and then the app wouldn't show them. What you saw was like 'ghost' remains.

    In addition, CurseForge can't manage mods you didn't install through CurseForge, and the majority of mods in your screenshot weren't installed via CurseForge. You can tell by the small folder/flame indication on the mods (flame is for the ones installed through CurseForge).

    I would like to see you be able to reinstall all mods at once because i have over 100 and i will not have to reinstall all at once it would be very nice if you guys can to somthing like this.!!
