Just to be clear, I highly recommend the new system kobopatch, although I didn't install FW 4.10.11591 (no mark 4).

Here are the advantages of kobopatch as I see them:

1) Folding all patches, seeing all the patches in a small area (notepad++ Alt+0)

2) Patching directly CSS streams, have the ability to edit patches in nickel.ymal file like `New home screen increasing cover size` patch.

3) Saving patches enable options in configuration file kobopatch.ymal so you can use it in the next firmware.

4) Separating custom patches from the included ones, let say you want to enable the patch `Custom reading footer style` but you don't want to edit it every firmware, add a ymal file (name like my_nickel.ymal) to src folder and copy the patch to it and edit, copy the file to next firmware folder.
Edit:You need to set the file in kobopatch.ymal.
