Folder within a folder

[rweber95]

USO800 AWVR 8 BULKHEAD FLAT CAR,<kuid:452752:1027> uses AAR Standard Coupler (Tail),<kuid2:76096:50002:1> and AAR Standard Coupler (Front),<kuid2:76096:50001:1>. Instead of referencing the kuid numbers of these couplers in the loco's config.txt file, the author (USO880) has included both coupler kuid folders in their entirety as subfolders within the kuid. What is strange (to me) is that the loco has 3 config.txt files, one in the main folder and one in each coupler subfolder. Is this normal practice?

Sounds inefficient and downright illegal!

One drawback that I see with this is you lose the cross-reference between the loco and the couplers, since they don't show up as a dependency.

Worth a PM to the creator, Bob? Maybe they don't know they are doing it wrongly.

I must say it's a bit strange that the DLS accepts things with more than one config.txt. I guess the people who designed the various checks never figured someone would do this.
