Hello Vincent,

17 Apr 22 22:33, you wrote to me:

It's in there somewhere, buried in the wrong place.

You can create an .ANS file with the filename of DD-MM and that will be shown 
on that day.  Something like 25-12.ANS will show every December 25th.  It was 
working before but it's evidently broken now.

 VC> Any idea what to look for ?

I am not sure to be honest; no one's tried that feature here but MBSE should 
automatically handle it.

I see it on the ticket system.  I'm not sure why that's happened to you; I've 
not had the same problem here but I'm not the best one to debug that.  Andrew 
is probably the one you want to talk to.

It is a pain.  We're trying to figure out a way to do things to where's easier 
to manipulate file areas by implementing file groups.

I agree.

It's because many, many bad shortcuts were made in the original code and we're 
trying to fix all of that and make it more modern but it is looking like we're 
going to have to rip out rather expansive sections of the code and rewrite it 
completely.
