Hi i have 2 isues when importing badareas.lst

1)

my badareas.lst:

BLUEWAVE Discussion about Bluewave reader and doors.
BR.MEDICINA
BR.POLITICA
FSX_ENG ENiGMA 1/2 BBS Support/Dev

here i have mixed areas from 2 nets that
FSX_ENG is from FSX net and the others are from FIDONET..

so, i cannot use the import option, because these all finished in the
grup that i was select

maybe adding the node can help to identify where come from.


2)

My fsx group have internal prefix FSX_

The imported FSX_ENG area do no have the prefix at first time ,
then, if i edit a save the prefix are update to FSX_FSX_ENG

Also, i have a area as template.. the storage directory was not set from template in the imported area.

This sems to be a bug in the import process.

thanks!

The EchoList file format (of which the badareas.lst is conforming) does not contian node numbers. Perhaps if the source zone number is > 6, then store it in a separate file (e.g. badareas.z21.lst)?

I was able to reproduce this one and looks like an easy fix. Thanks for the report!

Yeah, i think that separated files per zone/network just help to
identify the unconfigured areas. Also the auto add areas function seems
to be very useful!

I know that i can do this job by hand (add the unconfigured area). I
just found this use case.

I think I'm going to create SCFG import support for echostats.ini instead as that file already has the packet origin address and keeps track of the known/unknown status of each area. It's not as concise as badareas.lst, but it has the relevant
information needed.

Awesome.
