#dbpf viewer

Various changes that have been delayed as I really didn't want to rebuild all my apps just for the sake of it, but as I'm getting more and more reports of my apps failing due to errors introduced by other apps into .package files …

BHAV Finder V2.6

DBPF Viewer V2.2

HCDU Plus V4.6

Log Watcher V2.5

Repository Wizard V2.10

What Caused This V2.3

More forgiving when encountering compressed data with an incorrect header.

Added a feature to delete the application’s registry keys via Shift-Control-Exit

For apps using the game thumbnail caches

Implemented background thumbnail caches, no longer matters if you delete the cigen.package file and the Thumbnails sub-folder

Apps using the thumbnail caches will now open with game running (as not trying to open the locked game thumbnail caches - may still fail for other locked game files, eg, objects.package)

Added a Caching menu with option to remove thumbnail caches

As mentioned previously, all apps have now been updated

HCDU Plus

What Caused This

Log Watcher

Object Relocator

Outfit Organiser

Repository Wizard

SceneGraph Checker

Hood Exporter

BHAV Finder

BSOK Editor

DBPF Viewer

The configuration dialog now checks the three paths. Invalid paths are highlighted and the OK button disabled.

I’ve made some minor changes to the error reporting and resource usage of my Sims 2 Tools - DBPF Viewer, BHAV Finder, HCDU Plus, SG Checker and What Caused This - applications.

No need to redownload unless you’re getting error pop-ups, in which case the latest version will give more info about the cause of the error (unable to open/read package file, invalid package file, out of memory, etc)

I’ve made some changes to my DBPF Library and associated applications to support a new application. No need to redownload any application.
