I am using Kubuntu 12.10 and launching the launcher via command line (java -jar FTB_Launcher.jar) in case that is the issue.
When I update a mod pack I get the option to back up my configs however either no backups are made or I cannot find them. The update also removes any additional mods installed and removes any directories within instMods & CoreMods.
1)Please make the backup of configs work (or tell me where the backups are) plus it'd be handy if you could set specific locations for said backup.
2)Optionally ignore non-modpack .jar/.zip files. Or set them to disabled rather than just deleting them.
3)Ignore extra folders inside existing folders, not sure if this would cause an issue with FML/Forge but placing Optifine in a folder labeled unused in instMods folder doesn't get used on launch.
4)Please don't rename the Forge mod file to MinecraftForge.zip as it makes it very hard to work out which version of forge you're actually running (yeah crash logs and in game it can be found...).
edit: oh yeah-
5)Add a visible text version of the pack changelog somewhere in the pack installation directory so you don't need to go looking online, and can always see what the latest version is and what it adds/changes.
