Minecraft: Duplicating profile prompts new name.

I often duplicate mod packs to create a master, server, and client version. However, I am very forgetful, and while you can rename the instance within Curse Forge, it does not rename the folder in the file system, and I have to remember which folder contains which version of the mod pack. I propose when you duplicate a profile a simple dialogue appears with the current naming convention "modpack_name(i)" prefilled and the ability for me to set it to either a custom name or the generated one.

    Hello,
    It sounds like you want an easier way to manage your mod packs by automatically renaming the folders when you duplicate a profile in CurseForge. Your idea is to have a prompt appear when duplicating, prefilled with a suggested name (like modpack_name(i)) and an option to either use that or provide a custom name.

    This would definitely streamline your workflow, especially with keeping track of the different versions of mod packs (master, server, client) and their respective folders.

    Here’s a breakdown of what would happen:

    Duplicate Profile: Wen duplicating a profile, a dialogue box would pop up.

    Prefilled Name: The dialogue would show the default name, like modpack_name(i), to reflect the duplication.

    Rename Option: You’d be able to either accept this default name or enter a custom name.

    Folder Renaming: After confirming, the folder on your file system would automatically rename according to the chosen profile name.

Hold on!
