I'd keep it bumped; it is very helpful!
I did want to ask why deleting the World Caches was bad though? I was given to understand (some time ago) that it was good to delete them. So now I am confused.
Well, that used to work, but the game has changed. Each patch has given us new rules, it seems. Sigh.
I had a save I tried to transfer from an old game to a factory reset game with a newly installed DCCache/DCBackup of all my store things, including worlds. The old save would not open.
Since I still had the complete old game, I substituted the old world files from InstalledWorlds and the save still didn't open. But once I added both the old InstalledWorlds file and the old world files from the WorldCaches, the old save opened.
This may be an odd circumstance, rather than the rule. Or it may now be how things will always work, now. I cannot say. But I can tell you, for a fact, that the old world files in both WorldCaches and InstalledWorlds are needed for some old saves, because of my experience. So, when I keep a save of a store world, I also include both the WorldCaches and InstalledWorlds files.
