Is it possible to turn off auto portrait/body selection for male characters/npc's only?

This isn't really a question specific to the editor, but no there isn't an option to limit the auto image selection. However, the improved random portraits mod will assign no image to males if there are no images tagged for males.

I only asked here since there is a settings file for this pack, I just didn't have a clue what I was doing. The mod your referring to is the one by Kyler2, right? Do I need that mod and then this as well, because this says it's a re-write of the companion tool for that mod.

The version by Zepeteus, is better than the original by Kyler2. https://itch.io/t/984434/randomportraits-and-portrait-pack-editor-for-the-10-ver...

The portait pack editor will technically work without the mod, but the vanilla game does not support most of the tags. https://itch.io/t/838806/core-tag-size-rules

Okay, I feel like an idiot. I installed everything, and all of my portraits/bodies are properly tagged with the SkinL, AssM etc... but when I load up Strive no one has any portraits. Am I doing something wrong, am I missing something totally obvious here? I'm so confused.

I assume you mean that when you start a new game nobody has any images. If you changed the image folder and tried to load an existing progress, then it may not be able to find the images because it only looks for an exact path.

The first possibility would be that the images are not in the right folder, or the in-game path to the image folders was changed. The second possibility would be that the tags are incorrect. This post covers some of the key mechanics of the IRP mod, specifically the tag filters: https://itch.io/post/493890

No the image folders are definitely correct. appdata/roaming/strive/ then the respective bodies & portraits folders. And when I go into a game and manually try and choose something, the images all show.

I'm assuming the tags are incorrect, which is odd because I went through with Zepeteus' updated program and re-applied all the tags to every portrait and body picture I use (which was torture lol), but I guess I'll have to just go through it all again today, start small with maybe just one race and re-do the tags then see if the game will recognize them, and if so, slowly do them all again.
