I have both my retail and Steam version installed in custom directories in D: and F:.

If you've installed Steam for only your user, that may be the problem. If so, please report back, and I'll take a look.

I have Steam installed in I:, retail installed in C:. Version 2.0.2.78 still does not list my Steam directory. I checked my registry and found my Steam's install path at HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Wow6432Node\Valve\InstallPath. I did not find it under HKEY_CURRENT_USER, which would imply i chose to install for all users. Are you also checking against HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE for Steam?

The program checks the registry for the installer properties. If Steam hasn't been installed using the installer, it won't find it.
I'll add that path, though.

Is that to say that you parse the MAP files for resource locations and then sort them out in some way? Obviously, it is irrelevant what the folder structure is if everything is isolated to the custom story folder that the tool decides to list. However, users who do not recognize the purpose of the resources.cfg file end up placing their resources inside Amnesia's own directories. In other words, e.g. /entities/CustomStoryAssets, /static_objects/CustomStoryAssets, etc; instead of /custom_stories/CustomStory/CustomStoryAssets.
Right, so it's a problem with people not knowing how a custom story should be made, and not a problem with the program.
