Q&A
Q: I experienced a crash, what should I do?
A: In the bugs tab, make a new bug report and copy the content of CrashLog.txt in there, as well as the context in which you crashed.
Q: Can I start Asset Manager through Mod Organizer?
A: Yes, you can.
Q: Can I suggest new features?
A: Yes, I will consider adding more features down the line.
Q: I have found missing assets in a mod, what do I do?
A: Verify that those assets are actually missing, the tool might be flawed. If they are, you can very nicely ask the author if they could include the missing assets.
Q: My script source files (.psc) don't get detected?
A: The script source path defaults to "Scripts\Source". I might add auto-detection for the source path later on.
Q: Parsing NIFs is very slow, what can I do about it?
A: Get a fast SSD.
