  • File Hatching Change

    From Avon@21:1/101 to All on Saturday, July 16, 2022 16:37:57
    Posting this one to FSX_NET and FSX_GEN

    I've had a report that some systems (Amiga) are having issues importing hatched files for the infopack (and I suspect possibly nodelist too) because the TIC files being sent with the hatched files are showing lower case file area names and not uppercase.

    e.g.

    File fsxnet.zip
    Area fsx_info
    Areadesc Weekly Infopack (fsxNet)
    Desc Weekly infopack for fsxNet


    I have made a change which I think will fix/adress this so that the next hatching of nodelist and infopack should have accompanying TICs with

    Area FSX_INFO and Area FSX_NODE respectively...

    Hopefully this change won't be a problem for other nodes and instead only help some that are having issues.

    Can you keep an eye on your infopack and nodelist imports and let me know if you are having any problems.

    With thanks, Paul

    It looks like I got a new nodelist and infopack on 21st July which is
    after you made the change, so it looks like Synchronet can handle it
    without any issues.

    Thanks,
