Pretty straightforward issue, I think, but maybe not with a straightforward solution.

I use a lot of Penumbra "Predefined Tags" so that I can (barely) keep my mods organized and searchable. A lot of tags. However, any time Heliosphere updates a mod through the plugin, it resets both the mod name (which isn't that big of a deal) and all of the tags, requiring me to go through and re-configure them on each update.

I'm not sure if this is something "fixable" on Heliosphere's side, or if it's fundamentally a Penumbra issue, or some of both. Just wanted to throw it out there in case anything might come of it.

In the Heliosphere settings, uncheck "Include tags in Penumbra by default" and uncheck "Overwrite mod path name in Penumbra on updates".

The latter will keep the search path but not the name, so the ordering of your mods won't change, but the name will still be reset. Note that this will only affect newly-installed mods. You'll want to reinstall existing mods (which you can do from the Heliosphere mod list under the versions tab of each mod) and make sure the include tags option is unchecked. This shouldn't actually redownload any files.

Out of curiosity, what do you do to the names? I could add another option to keep the name on updates as well.

Well don't I feel silly. Thanks for getting me straightened out!

For the mod names, I have my own renaming system that's basically Mod Name - Body if applicable (Author).

So instead of, say, [HS] Yet Another Queen of Hourne, I'll usually rename to Queen of Hourne Attire - YAB (Lighty), as an example, then stick it in my Gear/Vanilla Upscales/ folder in Penumbra.
 
The option "Penumbra mod title prefix" can be cleared out so that mods don't start with [HS] , and Heliosphere should keep the folder the same on updates. Besides that, though, I can see how that would be helpful. I'll start work on a feature to keep the name if it's been edited, as well as the search path.
 
Forgot to update here, but I added this. It will be released with the next plugin update (and after I test it)!
