What does that refer to? There's a hidden mod directory (but not installers) and two "Data" directories inside "\Bash Installers\" (Bash and Bain Converters), but what does "hidden installer archives" refer to?
If you would like to refer to this comment somewhere else in this project, copy and paste the following link:
The hidden mod directory pulls double duty for hiding installers. It probably shouldn't since it makes no sense to group them together. That, and the installers may be located on a separate (larger) drive. There should be a separate hidden directory for both mods and installers, and its location should be customizable by ini.
(current)
Mods/Installers: Oblivion Mods\Bash Mod Data\Hidden
Agreed that they should be separated, having tangent issues with the locations.
Oblivion Mods\Bash Installers\Bash\ is obnoxious for 2 reasons: The projects are in the same folder so you have it in the middle of the project list; "Bash" doesn't really signify anything - it's already under "Bash Installers"!
Maybe just "Oblivion Mods\Bash Installers\Hidden\" for the hidden installs and "Oblivion Mods\Bash Installers\Projects\" for the projects. However, I've really digressed here - should we create a catch-all ticket about directory restructure?
Oblivion Mods\Bash Mod Data\Hidden - I understand this is outside of the Oblivion directory due to directory thrashing, but it really makes more sense near the mods themselves (in case the player uninstalls Bash without looking at the readme closely). It also becomes inconsistent - some files that should be under Oblivion\Data are under Oblivion Mods and some aren't...

Please do. That will need to be resolved before we touch this.
