Is it safe? Will it delete my stuff?
Nothing changes until you press Run, and you see every change first. Anything sent to Trash goes to Firestorm's Trash, which the app never empties. Every run can be undone.
Does it see my password?
No. You log in to Firestorm yourself, just like usual. Your password stays yours.
What do I need?
A Windows PC with Firestorm. For the recommended zip download, you also install Python once, free from python.org. The install guide walks you through it step by step.
Windows says "Windows protected your PC". Is that bad?
Not at all, it's a really common question! Windows shows that message for apps it doesn't recognize yet. Larger companies pay for a yearly certificate that makes it go away, and this little free tool doesn't have one yet. If you see it, press More info, then Run anyway. Or grab the zip instead, which works on every PC.
Does anything leave my computer?
Your inventory and choices stay on your computer. If you turn on folder pictures, the app asks Second Life's picture service for them, the same way Firestorm does.
Why does a run take so long?
The app moves things one by one, the same way you would by hand, so big runs take a while. You don't have to finish sorting first: run what you've checked, and keep sorting in the app while it works.
Can I use Firestorm while a run is going?
Press Pause on the run first, then reply to messages or do what you need. Clicking or typing in Firestorm while a run is going can mix things up. Press Resume when you're done.
How do I update?
Download the new version and replace the old folder. Your categories and choices carry over.
