Mystic message bases each have 7 data       files with the following extensions: lnk, scn, xlr, jhr, jlr, jdt, and jdx. If       you remove any of those you could cause some problems down the line.              When using the global editor it does not rename or move files for you, you are       only updating the path. If you want to try to relocate your files into those       directories you have to manually copy them and then use the global editor to       update the path. It will only update that value not move files.              The reason the auto create in the import doesn't allow you to set the path for       each network is because I have been over the years trying to get people to stop       moving the message base data files all over the place because it makes it       harder to do upgrades or to change the root Mystic install directory, or move       between Windows and Linux (for examples). This is something I could add though       but I haven't because my goal was to remove the configurable message path per       message base.              ... I'm not a complete idiot... Several parts are missing!              --- SoupGate-Win32 v1.05        * Origin: you cannot sedate... all the things you hate (1:229/2)    |
