Shortened Parameters

Some parameters can be specified in a shortened way now:

• -quickshowconflicts as -qsc
• -veryquickshowconflicts as -vqsc
• -autogamelink as -agl
• -quickclean as -qc
• -quickautoclean as -qac

Changes to QuickAutoClean

As  a fix for a problem in Dawnguard.esm (see details below in previous  version) QAC was marking all records in a to be cleaned file as  modified, which made xEdit assemble these records from parsed data  instead of just writing out the bytes that were read when the file was  loaded.

This resulted in problems when cleaning Dragonborn.esm (and possibly other files).

xEdit is now only marking all records as modified in Dawnguard.esm

This behaviour can be controlled with 2 parameters:

• -NoAutoMarkModified prevents mark modified from being applied to Dawnguard.esm (resulting in the Soul Cairn error described below)
• -ForceMarkModified always applies mark modified to the cleaned file (if there was anything to clean)
