About the invalids Directory

Item data that references asset bundles not present in abdata will not be converted and will be reported in subdirectories under UserData/Plugins/SardineTail/invalids.

The directory name corresponds to the item category, and each report is named (Item's hard id).json.

The Invalid field in the report lists asset bundles that were not found in the abdata directory.
