   Hello Vincent,   
      
   17 Apr 22 22:33, you wrote to me:   
      
    VC> Kindly explain this one - can't find it in the manual.   
      
   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.   
      
    VC> It is a pain has I have to remove ALL connected nodes from both -

   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.   
      
    VC> It would really help if File group and file area creation the system   
    VC> checks if the name is a duplicate and not blindly saves it.   
      
   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.
