Dialogs reference
Every modal dialog in the app, in one place.
Creation details
Opened from the Installed Creations tab. Read-only view of everything the local cache knows about one creation.
| Field | Source |
|---|---|
| Title, author | API; cached permanently (immutable). |
| Description, release notes | API; re-fetched per session after staleness window. |
| Version, price, size | API; volatile — refreshed with each explicit check. |
| Categories | API; cached. |
| Achievement friendly | API; cached permanently. |
| First seen / last updated | Computed by the toolkit from cache history. |
| Thumbnail | API; cached as file on disk. |
Diff dialog
Covered on its own page: Diff dialog.
Hint dialog
Opened by clicking a hint icon next to a moved item in the Diff dialog. Lists every constraint that touched that item:
- The sorter that contributed it (TES4 / LOOT / Categories / Rule Book) with a priority badge.
- The constraint type (
load_after,load_before,tier). - The other creation involved.
- A winner or overridden badge.
- For rule-book constraints: the source file name.
Rule book editor
Opened from the Rule Books tab with New or Edit. Two panes:
- Creation picker — search and add the creations you want this rule book to order.
- Ordering list — drag-reorder to declare the relative order. Top loads first.
Metadata fields: name, description, enabled flag. Saving writes a JSON file to the user rule book directory.
Note
All dialogs are non-modal in the Windows-focus sense — you can Win+D to the
desktop and click back to the toolkit without losing dialog state.
