About this mod
Ever found yourself looking at a folder full of save files, wondering which is which? You no longer need to guess, you can now see.
- Requirements
- Permissions and credits
WHAT IS THIS
Two Windows shell extensions for FO4 savegame (.FOS) files from all game versions - NG, OG and even older versions:
FOSThumbnails
Display the savegame screenshot as the explorer icon/thumbnail for all your Fallout 4 .FOS savegame files:
FOSPropertysheet
Add a new "FO4 Savegame" property sheet for Fallout 4 .FOS savegame file property dialog:
The file property dialog pops up when you right click a save file and choose "Properties" from the context menu.
INSTALL
Finally, choose Explorer > Restart Explorer from the menu to complete the installation and close ServerManager.exe
If the Thumbnails do not appear to work at first, run FOS_ClearIconCache.bat. This will purge the explorer icon cache and restart explorer.
UNINSTALL
KNOWN ISSUES
SUPPORT
This is very beta quality software and -like anything else to do with the game- is slightly bugged; see "known issues". Tested on Win10 only.
No warranty of any kind is given; "It just works". If it doesn't, I probably can't help you.
