Technic launcher suggestion.

Is it possible to add a button to the GUI that allows users to, when they select their mod pack click this particular button to take them back to the main launcher page when they are finished with that mod pack. This would make it easier and bypass the constant closing of the game and reopening of the launcher.

If there is a button like this than I am blinder than a bat and have not found it. However I do believe that this would be a good idea for the launcher.

basically an "exit to launcher" button on the main menu? I don't know how doable that is with the way the mods work.

Well, FTB does something like this. When you close the game, it relaunches the FTB Launcher automatically. There's no button though.

What about if you just added a check box thing that lets you select wether to close the launcher on game launch or not. That way, you can keep it open in the background if you want to switch modpacks quickly.

obviously doable then. dunno how likely it is unless someone submits a PR for it in the new launcher

I think this question might be construed incorrectly. I'm pretty sure he is asking that instead of launching the game after download, that there to be an option instead of opening the modpack it tells you that the modpack is done downloading and waits for a user input to launch.

I might be wrong, the question is a bit unclear.

It is not as much of question as it is but a suggestion. I just thought that it would be a lot less time consuming that instead of having to close the game and reopening the launcher, that when you close the particular modpack you are playing you could instead press a button that takes you back to the launcher screen or like the others said. Have a checkbox or it just automatically relaunches the launcher or have something that asks you before closing the game if you want it to reopen the launcher.

Simply put yes. I kind of draw out what I'm getting at instead of just going straight to the point.

The problem you're missing is the launcher is designed to take another program and modify it and launch it and that's it. In order to have a button of some kind BACK you need another mod made specifically to add a button in the modpack for relaunch the launcher. IMO, this is a waste of time.

The best idea you could hope for is a check box on the launcher to remain open after it has launched the game. I don't think this is wise either because it is a second item loaded in Java and using resources better saved for running the game.
