Does niftoaster.py work with Fallout 4 nifs?

Does niftoaster.py, which is part of Pyffi and Niftools, work correctly with Fallout 4 nifs? I would like to batch dump a list of the materials and textures used by a group of nifs so that I can find which nifs are using certain ones. I installed Python 3.2 and Pyffi 2.2.2, then ran the install.bat for Pyffi 2.2.3 from the Niftools site. The command I am trying to run to test it is "niftoaster.py dump_tex <nifpath>\\<nifname.nif>". All I get is the following:

pyffi.toaster:INFO:toasting with 2 threads in chunks of 64 files
pyffi.toaster:INFO:Finished.
Am I doing something wrong, or does niftoaster.py not support the Fallout 4 nif structure yet? If Fallout 4 isn't supported yet, does anyone have a suggestion of an alternate way I can do this?
Thanks in advance for any help.

To answer my own question, no, niftoaster.py does not currently work with Fallout 4 nifs.

 

I found an alternate way to get the information I wanted though. I used a Windows version of the strings command on the nifs and piped the output through grep. A lot of manual editing was then needed to clean up the files. I've posted the results as a Miscellaneous file under my Remove Ugly Flat Trash mod (http://www.nexusmods.com/fallout4/mods/19711/?). For mod-makers, these are useful if you want to find all of the meshes that use a particular texture, for example.
