Summary | 0000658: Adding options in the [Copy to 'mods' folder] drop down menu also for 'x64' and 'update' folders. | ||||
Description | Adding options in the [Copy to 'mods' folder] drop down menu also for 'x64' and 'update' folders. Adding this option will allow you to create copies of original files faster in these locations and to securely edit them later. Sometimes, when you install the .OIV modification, you do not get all copies of files and folders. When later we want to use or edit a new file or folder by modification, we need to manually create new folders and the location and send the original files for editing. If it will be available and will work as you have with archives like x64a.rpf etc. it will help / speed up and simplify a lot. | ||||
