I have found something that seem like a bug, and I am not sure if its FA or xtool, but likely an xtool issue.

Say you precomp a file with reflate, but you have an xtool.ini config that contain all kind of codecs, like xmemcompress, quickbms based and so on. But you only used reflate.

Now to decode successfully, you have to have all those exe files + untouched xtool.ini otherwise xtool will throw general error! Even if you don't need any of those for decompression.
That just happened to me. I had to copy all those pointless exe's and exact same xtool.ini for it to work. If for example I edited out those unneeded codecs from xtool.ini and/or deleted crilayla.exe or xmemcompress.exe, then xtool won't decode my reflate pack!

EDIT: No wonder it fails:

Why it have to save all those things if it's not needed?

Xtool stores all possible methods because xtool itself doesn't know if are or will be used if all before even precompression begins.
