I have tried resolving the issue using the support portal
I have ensured my Modrinth App installation is up to date
What version of the Modrinth App are you using?
Modrinth App v0.8.7
What operating systems are you seeing the problem on?
Windows
Describe the bug
When duplicating an instance, the new instance will get the old instance name as its folder name and instance name. When renaming the new instance name, the folder name stays the same as the old instance name.
Exemple: Old instance (name="OldTest",folderName="OldTest"). When duplicating it, it creates a new instance (name="OldTest",folderName="OldTest (1)"). Obviously i want to rename it, so i rename the new instance name to "NewTest" in the modrinth app. The new instance is now partially updated (name="NewTest",folderName="OldTest (1)"). If i want to force the name change and manually go in file explorer and rename the folder of new instance to "NewTest". I need to relaunch the app and it then doesnt find the "NewTest" instance.
Steps to reproduce
Create an instance (mark it as old)
Duplicate that instance
Rename the new instance
Realize the new instance folder name is the same as the old instance name
(Optionnally) Force the rename by renaming the folder manually
Modringth doesnt find the instance anymore
Expected behavior
There are many fixes possible. I ordered them as my preference but they are equally as good
Renaming an instance in the launch syncs its folder name as the new name - Easy but might be invasive for a few power users
Require a name when duplicating an instance (prefill with old instance name?) - Very easy, intuitive, not invasive
Add a way to set instance folder location in that instance's settings - NOT user friendly, not invasive
Additional context
This is a big deal for me because i make a new modpack instance every new version by duplicating the previous version's modpack instance. All the instances folder names are of the version just before it.
1.20.2 is actually 1.20.2
1.20.2 (1) is actually 1.20.4
1.20.4 is actually 1.21
Its not THAT big of a deal but it's just an annoyance and something that shouldn't be like it is.
