This time              This turned out to be Linux-specific so I had to set up some tests there. The       7/11 release should fix this.               BW> BW> * For a normal account (not a QWK account), when selecting the messag        BW> BW> bases to scan from the message menu, i.e. (MZ) Toggle new scan base        BW> BW> with an empty Data field, Mystic appears to be selecting the wrong        BW> BW> message base when I enter a number:        BW>         BW> That one is still there. Now it appears to be selecting a message base        BW> in some other message group? Not sure, because I can't see any changes              Yeah this was a freak accident. Turns out when I was editing something else I       accidentally hit a key and it was passing a bad default value to a function       (-10 instead of -1).              I think now that I changed it back to -1 we should be okay in the 7/11 build       but let me know once you have a chance to try it!               BW> Also, a few more things (I do not know if all have been present earlier)        BW> and suggestions:        BW>         BW> * 5mooth-mist25.ans is present in the text directory of the default        BW> theme. Should it be there? Perhaps for some gallery function or similar?              Yes its used as the ANSI in the Demos menu for File Viewer.               BW> * When editing user flags in the user editor, ANSI escape codes        BW> (e.g. arrow up yields a "P") toggle the corresponding flags. Would it be        BW> possible for Mystic to "filter out" anything with an escape before it?              This isn't in the 7/11 update but should be fixed in the next build.               BW> * When selecting a function/command in the menu editor, -R is listed        BW> after -S.              Fixed.               BW> * After uploading a file via FTP, the FTP command processor will        BW> become unresponsive until upload testing has finished (if one has enabled        BW> upload testing). Could Mystic send e.g. a "452 Requested action not        BW> taken. Still testing uploaded file. Please wait a little and try again."              Not for now. It may be possible to send some status codes to like the client       know its being tested and when to resume but I would need to test that with       various clients.              Ideally it would spawn a thread for testing but there needs to be a thread       queue and a limit to it otherwise a bad actor could use it as a form of DDOS       attack. This is something I want to do but its a chunk of work and probably a       low priority given how few people will actually use this feature.              I think short term is to experiment with status messages and long term is to       implement a testing thread/queue.              ...
