hello hello, i wanted to update my previous packages with new display index and thumbnails to really get my things organized properly and fix my old thumbnails-- all of my packages are merged packages formerly.

so the question is...

1. can i edit the display indexes of my merged packages without unmerging them (it would be sooo much work to unmerge and individually edit each of them.).

2. can i change the thumbnails of my merged packages without unmerging them? and if i have to unmerge them, is there a fast way to change the thumbnails without having to redo so many packages and remerging etc.

i know how to open my projects when they're merged and edit some things, but display index doesn't seem to be among them. and batch fixes only fix major things not something simple like swapping thumbnails or display indexes. is there another, simpler/cleaner and quicker way to do it than just, redoing absolutely everything essentially?

Hi. In theory, yes. In practice, it would take forever.
Just unmerge them and use this batch edit tool

The current beta version of Studio has an option to set the display index of all CAS parts in all packages in a folder. It is available in the "My CC" as a right-click option on the folders within your mods folder. This could work for you if you already have your CAS CC sorted into folders by creator.

As for thumbnails, what do you want to do with them exactly? Replace with others? or remove?
If replace, you can do that using batch export/import cheats, but i would not describe that as "fast"

i've run into a new problem that when unmerging my previously merged cc, only 1 of the files will show up and the others will have the swatches but they're empty. like, a tattoo will show on the original file but any other files i created (in different locations, but the same file) suddenly won't show up even though they worked before merging. only after unmerging are they broken?
