Seems to be the related to T82137, but the tickets is from 2015 so I'll just continoue the discussion here 🙈
I wondered how the Arma 3 Launcher chooses the name of the mod folder. After some searching I came to the following conclusion, which was more or less confirmed by @dedmen on our discord server:
The publisher creates a meta.cpp, which looks like this (there is even a meta.cpp biki entry):
protocol = 1; publishedid = 620019431; name = "task_force_radio"; timestamp = 5247592234769233611;
The Arma 3 Launcher then uses the name field to create a soft link within the (it just prepends an @)
It should be possible to give the mod author the ability to customize the name field.
Just add another input field for the folder name within the Arma 3 Publisher or - even better - just use the name of the folder which was selected.
