Reading about the mod choosing system, i much prefer the idea of the HL2 method, of a "Steam" type sytem, and a read the mod files from the relevent folder. This would pose the most work, as RP would have to be extended to a sence that it must load files form extended folder structures, not just the same folder as the exe.
So...
As you said the other way to look at it would be a progrma that would move about the files for the user, so they didnt have to understand what files there should be and what there shouldnt be for one of the mods to work. This is really what my mod loading program does... if you choose disable, then it changes all our mod files extensions to .rotc. Thus making it disabled, But can be easily differenciated from the other files within the folder.
A naming structure, or a naming ini file to store the relevent file tables, disabled extensions / folder to move to and from, can be writen to by a custom installer for the mods.
if this makes sence to people.
ps: i think i have found some info for a folder content moval, but notn really got an idea to remember what has been moved, to allow it to be removed after the game has ended.
