Default Re: SE4 Modder Ver 1.76 (updated for ver 1.91)

Other problems I've noted:

Every time I start the modder, it says "cannot create directory". Then it loads fine. This started after I tried to create a mod, it said that, I created manually, it's said it ever since.

After I put in a seperate SE4 install, it "lost" the first one and had to be manully re-selected. This stopped the cannot create directory error. For a while. Then I tried to switch to a mod folder; when I did this the editor didn't display anything any more. The left side list was a blank white box, the right side area was blank black. Exiting and re-entering fixed that, but brought back the cannot create directory error. When I tried to change mods again, the program simply stopped responding. It's done that every time since. This is by using the "open" button.Switching via the recently used file list works fine.

If I press the "create family" button in the base SE4 directory, it gives me an error. OK clears the error..which immediatly pops back up. Repeated some 20 times before it went away.

The modder doesn't seem to like components with no Roman Numeral in the name and a numeral in the code. If you run a Create Family on one of these, it works but moves the component like this:

Was:
3001
----Small Laser
3002
3003

Now:
3001 (empty)
3002
3003
Small Laser
---Small Laser II
---Small Laser III
---etc

The "Small Laser" entry becomes a heading -and- an actual entry.

Guess the modder doesn't like me, or I'm good at breaking it.
