Skinning parameters set but missing from palette

Kwiina

After choosing the "skinning" option (at first the parts of the item I am trying to skin not appear under the rotators and I have to continue the generating process and ctrl-z until I get back to the skinning part for them to appear) and the "generate parameters from rotation deformer" under the "modeling" section I follow the steps to set up the parameters and a folder is created under the given name but once opened the folder is empty. When I try to generate the parameters again with the same rotation deformers I get the message "parameters have already been set". I've tried clearing out un-used parameters, clearing up un-used parts of the model, updating texture atlas, re-doing the rotation deformers, lastly using deformer pathing.

I founded the parameters, they were added to similarly named parameters in another folder.
