I don't understand it either, as I haven't needed it till I did the update, and I can't swear to that, as I only know for sure It started with 3.19c, I was only on 3.19b for 2 days and no uploads were done in those 2 days. Hope this helps.
I wasn't going to say anything, as it only happened once yesterday, but since I'm running 3.19c, it may be related to this issue. I uploaded 5 files to my bbs directory yesterday, and went back to check to see if it took ok, and picked up the FILE_ID.DIZ's ok. Everything was fine, then I quit and went back to the main menu, and did a "N" for new mail, and chose All, and it displayed all the new files I uploaded...I logged off, and logged back on, and everything did as it should then. I have not been able to duplicate it, but I thought I would mention it just the same in case it may be related to the other issue.

That makes sense, but I didn't change them. I'll go back in and change them to just zip and unzip then, and try it. I guess I will end up removing the %. also when I give it a test. Seriously, I can't remember how long it's been this way with no issues.

Let's leave it be for now, as it only happened once. To put it simply, after I uploaded a few files using the ;upload command, from the "T" file menu, I quit the gile menu using "Q", and went the check for any new mail that might have come in, when I hit "N" for new mail, Then "A" for all, it listed all the new FILES I uploaded instead of any new mail. The only way I could stop it from doing this was to log out, and log back in. Hope this is clearer. As I say, no need to persue it, as it only happened once, and I can't duplicate the issue. The only reason I mentioned it was in case it was related to the issue we were having with the zip and unzip issue. Personally, I think it was a one time fluke.

your description of the scenario. <shrug>
Let's leave it be for now, as it only happened once. To put it simply, after I uploaded a few files using the ;upload command, from the "T" file menu, I quit the gile menu using "Q", and went the check for any new mail that might have come in, when I hit "N" for new mail, Then "A" for all, it listed all the new FILES I uploaded instead of any new mail. The only way I could stop it from doing this was to log out, and log back in. Hope this is clearer. As I say, no need to persue it, as it only happened once, and I can't duplicate the issue. The only reason I mentioned it was in case it was related to the issue we were having with the zip and unzip issue. Personally, I think it was a one time fluke.

OK, I did manage to duplicate the issue today after uploading a file from my other computer. I then changed to the main menu to check for new mail in all the echos. It scanned all the echos, and then it showed the new file I just uploaded. Is it supposed to show any new files uploaded from a new message message scan.

SCFG->External Programs->Native Program List?Something else to check: are "zip" and "unzip" listed in
They are both in there as ZIP.EXE and UNZIP.EXE
Oh? That's unusal.
Here's the default Native Program List:

If yours has "zip.exe" and "unzip.exe" instead, I think that
explains the issue. Non-native programs are attempted to be run
using dosxtrn.exe (a 16-bit DOS program) on Windows, which is not
going to successfully run a 32-bit executable (such as zip.exe or
unzip.exe).
That makes sense, but I didn't change them. I'll go back in and change
them to just zip and unzip then, and try it. I guess I will end up
removing the %. also when I give it a test. Seriously, I can't
remember how long it's been this way with no issues.
Yeah, I don't recall them ever defaulting to "zip.exe" and "unzip.exe". And how would have worked before is also a mystery. :-)
yesterday, but since I'm running 3.19c, it may be related to thisI wasn't going to say anything, as it only happened once
issue. I uploaded 5 files to my bbs directory yesterday, and went
back to check to see if it took ok, and picked up the FILE_ID.DIZ's
ok. Everything was fine, then I quit and went back to the main
menu, and did a "N" for new mail, and chose All, and it displayed
all the new files I uploaded...I logged off, and logged back on,
and everything did as it should then. I have not been able to
duplicate it, but I thought I would mention it just the same in
case it may be related to the other issue.
I'm not clear... are you describing a newly observed issue here?
Yes, but only if you think it's related to the zip, unzip problem.As I said, I can not reproduce it, and it only happened once. It may
have been just a fluke or something related to memory. I'm really not
concerened at this point about it since I can't reproduce it.
I'm not clear: *what* only happened once? I don't see a problem in
your description of the scenario. <shrug>

What you're describing sounds like expected (as designed) behavior for a user that has
"[F] Automatic New File Scan : On"
set in their default configuration.
Maybe double-check that setting for your user account?

why are having so many problems with synchronet, dude? it's essentially a turnkey bbs software.
maybe you are overthinking things and trying too hard.
