Project Tools (or 'Stuff that didn't deserve its own tab')

Project Tools contains Rename Mod and Project Backup. I'm assuming I don't need to explain what these do, but...

Rename Mod

Use Rename Mod when you need to rename an existing Toolkit mod folder.

Probably best to run Project Backup first if you do not already have a recent backup, but whatever, I'm a wiki, not a cop.

Rename Mod also creates a temporary safety backup in Toolkit Assistant's settings folder before changing files. Temporary rename backups are kept for one month from creation, and can be manually purged using the Delete Temp Files button in the Settings tab.

1. Open Project Tools.
2. Enter the old mod folder name.
3. Enter the new mod folder name.
4. Click Rename Mod.
5. Confirm the rename when prompted.
6. Review the log.

You can enter names with or without the trailing UUID.

Toolkit Assistant preserves the existing UUID. So if your existing folder is Testing_f584bcd5-0dae-a7a1-ad77-fb198e1d6588, entering Testing and Testing_Renamed writes Testing_Renamed_f584bcd5-0dae-a7a1-ad77-fb198e1d6588.

The rename tool checks common Toolkit project locations under Data, including:

• Data\<ProjectName>
• Data\Generated\Public\<ProjectName>
• Data\Mods\<ProjectName>
• Data\Projects\<ProjectName>
• Data\Public\<ProjectName>
• Data\Editor\Mods\<ProjectName>

It also updates the ModuleInfo Folder attribute in the renamed meta.lsx.

Display names, dependency entries, and UUIDs are left alone.

Project Backup

Use Project Backup before potentially destructive Toolkit edits, project moves, renames, experiments, or passing on to someone else to look at so they don't have to extract your .pak file.

1. Open Project Tools.
2. Choose a backup destination.
3. Click Select Projects.
4. Select the projects to back up.
5. Click Back Up Projects.
6. Confirm the backup when prompted.
7. Review the log.

For each selected project, Toolkit Assistant backs up folders such as:

• Data\<ProjectName>
• Data\Projects\<ProjectName>
• Data\Editor\Mods\<ProjectName>
• Data\Mods\<ProjectName>
• Data\Public\<ProjectName>
• Data\Generated\Public\<ProjectName>

Backups are written under:

<backup destination>\<ProjectName>\...

GustavDev is skipped because you should never touch this ever.
