  • FileToss - Dupes

    From Zazz@21:1/134 to All on Tue Aug 27 19:00:06 2019
    I have the following in my filetoss.ini

    ; If this is true, then Mystic will allow the REPLACE TIC option, which will
    ; remove and replace files by the specified file mask.

    allow_replace = true

    Isn't this supposed to allow a file with same name to be overwritten, by the newer file? If so, it is not happening here. Is there something I am
    missing?

    Are you seeing files with accompanying TICs coming into your BBS that are
    being sent to bad files dir as a dupes?

    The auto replace will work if the TIC has a REPLACE command in it.

    But you also need to check how Mystic handles dupe scanning of file bases.

    In the main file settings config change dupe scan from 'all' to 'current'

    I expect what is happening Ruben is that you already have the incoming file
    in your file bases but in another base other than the one the incoming file
    is intended to land in.

    So if you had a copy of the fsxNet nodelist in two file bases, a new nodelist arrived with a replace command in a TIC etc. the file would not get tossed in as Mystic (if set to 'all') would say there's a copy of the fsxNet nodelist
    in file base ABC already so I won't toss it into file base DEF like you're asking me to.

    Changing that setting to 'current' will negate that issue.

    Yes, tic file is present and the tic file is sent to the bad files dir as
    dupes

    The auto replace will work if the TIC has a REPLACE command in it.

    I did change that to Current, it was set to None
