is there any way to refresh the tokens without closing Fantasy Grounds?
I mean, if i add a new token to the token directory, it doesn't show up until I reboot the program, any way to avoid this?
thank you

Tokens are not like images - you need to restart Fantasy Grounds as they are only read in during startup.

A "work around" is to have your tokens in modules, you can open and close modules to show/hide tokens.

Does the number of tokens not in a module impact memory usage and/or the length of time FG takes to open?

I believe that it does, since tokens are loaded into memory on initialization to speed up later token bag browsing and map usage.

Thanks for your help, I'll do some research into the "modularization" of the tokens
