      TID: Mystic BBS 1.12 A47       MSGID: 2:201/137 85be1082       REPLY: 1:129/215 f0c0c433       TZUTC: 0200       Hello g00r00!              Thank you for your reply!              On 05 Aug 2021, g00r00 said the following...        g0> The duplicate file scan would prevent that from happening except when        g0> doing a blind batch Zmodem upload.              Ah, yes, that explains it, I was indeed using Zmodem...              Could some tempname stuff perhaps be used/help? For blind batch uploads, each       received file is stored with a temporary name (but Mystic notes the desired       name of each file) and is then renamed or deleted, depending on the findings       of the duplicate check?               g0> My belief is that the more likely situation is that someone would be        g0> uploading a same file to fix a broken or corrupt file, not using a        g0> blind upload Zmodem attack to corrupt a file.              Agreed!               g0> I'll make a note in the TODO list.              Thanks! It's certainly not a "pressing" issue in any way, though, so no hurry.         g0> times maybe you rotate USB drives). In those cases you'd want the dupe        g0> scan to continue to detect them even though the file is not physically        g0> there.              Agreed!               g0> As far as the delete thing, yes that should remove the index entry so        g0> this is a        g0> bug based on your description. Packing is a temporary fix since it              Please let me know if there are any further tests that I can do to aid you       with this issue -- I'd be happy to help!              Best regards       Bj”rn              --- Mystic BBS v1.12 A47 2021/08/05 (Linux/64)        * Origin: Star Collision BBS, Uppsala, Sweden (2:201/137)       SEEN-BY: 1/123 90/1 103/705 105/81 120/340 123/131 124/5016 129/305       SEEN-BY: 154/10 201/0 137 203/0 124 221/0 1 226/30 227/114 702 229/101       SEEN-BY: 229/424 426 428 452 550 700 981 1016 1017 230/0 240/1120       SEEN-BY: 240/5411 5824 5832 5853 6309 249/206 307 317 400 280/464       SEEN-BY: 280/5003 282/1038 292/854 8125 301/1 317/3 320/219 322/757       SEEN-BY: 342/200 396/45 633/280 2452/250 2454/119 3634/24       PATH: 201/137 0 203/0 280/464 240/5832 229/426           |
