Description

I find the documentation for portrait folders to be unclear in some parts, so I have some suggestions:

  1. Detailing which roles go into the general "combat" and "support" folders. The main reason for this is that I would assume "Vessel Crew" would be combat, but they're one of the "specialist" grouping folders, so it's not clear to me whether they are counted as support or combat. But I also think it would be generally helpful.

  2. I would suggest changing the format to be closer to a "table" for all roles (which takes care of point 1). So it would look something like this (dots for spacing format on github):

Role.......................Primary folder........Specialist Folder.......General
Mechwarrior....../MechWarrior.........N/A ............................../Combat
Doctor................../Doctor..................../Medical....................../Support

I think this would make it a little more clear which folders each role checks first, second, and then third (with the notes about gender folders staying as-is, so that it remains clear that all roles check that folder last)(and the notes about admin staying as-is, since they're a unique case).

  1. Making it clear that capitalization & exact spelling must be followed (I assume it should be). Mostly because the "MechWarrior" folder has a capital W, but the role itself does not. I haven't had a problem, but I read some other github issues where it was noted, plus it might stave off confusion right from the start for people who don't realize/aren't as careful.
