It        IJ> seems to leave some files behind in the \mystic\msgs\ directory and they        IJ> appear to be links to the files that were moved.              A couple of notes here because I think a lot of this might just be confusion       on how things work:              If you are seeing .lnk files those are not any type of links to files, those       are part of the message base itself. 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!              --- Mystic BBS v1.12 A48 2022/06/10 (Windows/32)        * Origin: Sector 7 * Mystic WHQ (1:129/215)       SEEN-BY: 1/123 15/0 90/1 105/81 106/201 114/705 120/340 616 123/10       SEEN-BY: 123/120 131 129/215 305 330 331 153/7715 154/10 30 40 50       SEEN-BY: 154/700 203/0 218/700 840 220/70 90 221/6 226/17 18 30 100       SEEN-BY: 227/114 201 229/110 111 112 113 206 307 310 317 400 424 426       SEEN-BY: 229/428 452 470 550 664 700 250/5 8 266/512 267/800 280/464       SEEN-BY: 282/1038 292/854 298/25 301/1 305/2 3 317/3 320/219 322/757       SEEN-BY: 342/200 396/45 460/58 633/280 712/848 770/1 2320/105 3634/12       PATH: 129/215 154/10 770/1 317/3 229/426           |
