I know that I mentioned this once before and I'm not sure not sure if what is/will become of it...
I have a few message Groups... Local/Fido/Usenet just to mention a few. Years ago I recall reading that JAM message base responds slower if there are large numbers of files in the directory, message base files.
I don't recall why that was, if it was hardware or software limitations based on that time or whatever... So, I separate my message groups into different directories /msg/dovenet /msg/fido/ and so on..
If Mystic auto creates a message base and I change where Mystic sees the message base it'll copy over the files from where Mystic auto created them to where I made the changes...
Here you go.... If I ignore things for a while and there are a large number of areas and I try to uses the Global option... and I make the changes I want to have for several areas... It'll change the directory but not copy over the JAM files from the old directory to the new one like Mystic does when I do them one at a time.
Oooooh, BTW... I forget what it was that I was doing. I was messing with the message base setup and all my area setup for FidoNET only vanished .... I didn't back it up so I'm left with Mystic auto creating the areas as they come in. Mystic is not using, or back filling, any of the newly vacant area numbers that were left open from my FidoNET purge...
I have enough on my mind, midterm elections, war in Ukraine, gas prices, inflation and what not. Now I'm focused on the fact that Mystic is not using the newly vacant area numbers.
Great Job... I love Mystic
