Restoring a Route and the required Assets with StoreThem

I am still puzzled about the scheme for both storing and restoring both the Routes and the needed Assets for the Routes.

If I want to work with just one route at a time; for example, RWA Lakeside, it makes sense to manually Restore "RWA Lakeside" from the Stored Routes. But how does 'StoreThem' determine which Stored Assets should be Restored? Or is that a manual Restore decision as well. So, if I understand, we then would need to know the Assets that the Route requires, correct? And if we discover something does not appear in a running scenario, we must decide which additional assets to Restore, correct? I am thinking in terms of the issue of the missing Kuju couplers discussed by Charliechan above.

Or on the other hand, if we substitute a piece of rolling stock in RW_Tools for another different Stored Assets then that Provider/Product asset must be restored manually as well, correct?

Or is "StoreThem" smart enough to accomplish all of this autonomously?

When you restore a route, StoreThem reads the RouteProperties.xml file to see which Provider/Product pairs of assets have been used by the route (these are the items you have placed green ticks next to in the world editor) , e.g. items like Kuju\RailSimulatorUS

Similarly it reads the ScenarioProperties.xml file to see which rolling stock has been used by all the scenarios and select those as well.

In the case of the latest RSC routes, there are very few items to move all virtually all the route assets are included in one folder, e.g. RSC\CajonPass, whereas in 3rd party routes you might end up with dozens of asset folders.
