FSDT Live Update Fix

[bhorv67]

Folks, in order to make the FSDT Live Updater stop removing modifications to their folder structure, put the attached file into the corresponding folder. This will cause the updater to ignore that folder.

I would however recommend to remove this file every few weeks as unannounced updates are released.

DONTUPDATE

The file downloads as a blank white file with no instruction or way to unzip it.

There's nothing in the file. The point is the filename. You can make this yourself. Open Wordpad and save a blank file, as long as the title says 'DONTUPDATE' and remove the file extension.

One follow up question: do you need to put this in every sub-folder too, or just the top level of what you don't want altered?

I'd put it in the particular folder you don't want updated. I'd caution you that the dev is known for posting constant updates, and you may want to remove that and run the liveupdater from time to time to make sure you're not missing important updates.
