    I haven't used LocoSwap for some time, but it has always worked fine previously, I've used it a lot in the past. However, after an absence from using it for a while, I now have a problem that although the main window works correctly, clicking on a scenario (any type), the Edit scenario button displays the Edit Scenario window, but the 'reading scenarios...' green bar at the top either stays grey or starts but freezes part way across and no consists are displayed. Except for a 'Loose consist' entry half-way down the left list box. But that doesn't show any stock in the adjacent consist vehicles list box Also clicking the 'Look up vehicles' button brings up a warning box with the message 'Please select a directory first'.(Why would it not know that when the parent window knows the directory?) I have tried various version of LocoSwap that worked previously, all with the same result. However, the latest V1.6.1.0 version of LocoSwap has a facility to check consists in every scenario in the route. This works correctly with green or red dots as appropriate! I can't understand why the Edit scenario window doesn’t work when the main window works fine! The setting path for the Railworks directory must therefore be correct. The Open Scenario button does open up what looks like the scenario directory. My system is a Windows 10 and I wonder if a Windows update to 22H2 has done something strange that the Edit scenario code doesn’t like? Any help will be much appreciated!

    Well, I think I have fixed LocoSwap now. Looked at and reset file RW settings for assets, routes and scenarios. Downloaded and installed Microsoft .NET Framework 4.8.1. Restarted system. Strangely initially, it didn't seem to have changed anything but it has gradually got quicker and quicker. Now LocoSwap seems to be as good as it was!

    I was having issues with locoswap as well in the past. In the end I switched to TSTools and find that a lot easier to use.
