Backglass under a slightly different name

Technical code : B2S_NEAR_MATCH

What it means

This table's backglass is probably already there, under a slightly different name, so it doesn't show.

Why it happens

With default settings, B2S only loads a .directb2s with exactly the same name as the .vpx. A shortened name, a version suffix or different spacing is enough to make it invisible.

How Pincab Toolbox detects it

The free scanner checks the following:

No .directb2s has the table's exact name, and exactly one unclaimed file has the same name when case and punctuation are ignored, or the same beginning (B2S's short-name rule).

Automatic repair

Repair, included in the Pincab Toolbox licence, can fix this one for you. Your files are backed up first, and the fix can be undone.
