Default question about Delphy Download Organiser
Hello, I've been deleting a lot of things from the game / buy mode, (since it's the only way to see the things I don't want), and I guess EA Games doesn't delete the recolors, so I'm encouraged to look for orphans in this program, I have put all my EPS and save etc… ok scan, and rescan, but I don't see the orphans, where are they? , I made a backup, obviously, where is the list of orphans? I don't see it in the list of the program. Thanks

Once you scan for orphans, you need to click the checkbox down in Search Options to show orphans. Also it's a bit late now, but next time you want to delete objects and their recolours, place an empty lot, stick everything you want to delete on it, package it up, close the game, install your packaged lot to a separate folder and then run a duplicate file scanner over that and your downloads folder. Recolours are packaged with lots, so you get rid of both at once.

what you put makes more sense than the organizer, the orphans, they are not orphans, it removes things that do exist in the game, for example all the work of ladysimplayer8, it says they are orphans, I removed several things, but I did not delete them, now I have to search and replace things that I removed, the program is fine to organize, not to search for orphans, it is my humble opinion.

It's better than nothing, but yeah, it does have its limitations. I seem to recall it flags a lot of default replacements as false positives. What I tend to do is move the orphans to a new folder to double check them. Alas, I don't think the perfect orphan scanner exists.
