Enabling the automatic selection of the 'Show alpha files' checkbox for mods exclusively consisting of alpha releases would bring significant benefits.
I recently received feedback from members of my mods community who could not download my mod through the provided Curseforge link, which linked to the Files tab of my project.
Initially, I suspected the mod page was experiencing difficulties loading the files correctly. However, it became evident that the issue arose from the 'Show alpha files' checkbox not being enabled.
Considering that my project is still in the alpha stage and the checkbox is not toggled by default, the Files tab appears empty, potentially depriving users of accessing the mod's content.
While I understand that alpha mod versions can be accessed and downloaded from the right-side panel, it would still benefit the user experience to have these files display automatically on the Files tab too.
We're planning to change Showing Alphas to be on by default
