• File Group Index Numbers

    From stizzed@21:4/156 to All on Sat May 25 06:18:35 2019
    Is there a way to change File Group Index numbers? I understand that the numbers that visitors see are dynamic but the static (ID) numbers on the backend are a problem for me. My message groups run 1 Local, 2) fsxNet, etc. My file groups are 1) fsxNet, 2) Local, etc. See, backwards! I get that its not a ~real~ problem except that Im OCD and these particular differences hurt my brain, especially when Im looking through the mailin.ini. ;)

    Oh yeah, I already looked thru the docs and the Wiki! HAHAHAHA!

    Go into config and hit the slash key from the file group listing and choose move before on the group you want to move. So cursor to Local and hit / and choose move before and move it.. :) Hope that helps...

    Thanks Bucko! Ummmmm, have you actually seen this work? Perhaps I'm just doing it wrong (wouldnt be a first) but I have never been able to get that function to work. And I've tried. Lord knows, I've tried!

    Just tried it but didn't give all.. First hit /C to copy the File Group, then cursor to where you want to put it and hit /M and it will move... :)

    Yessir, that works to move the description but it does not change the ID#.
    The problem (for me) is that in the mailin.ini fsxNet is ID 2 (g2) in the message section but ID 1 (z1) in the files section. In a perfect world I want the local group (file and message) as ID 1 and other networks ID 2, ID 3, etc... I hope that this makes sense. The 'Move before' function only moves the description up. It does nothing to the IDs which remain the same...

    Ok I gotcha.. The only way around that then at least as far as I know would
    be to delete then re-add the groups. Maybe Avon has a better way.. Lets wait
    to see what he has to say before you delete and re-add..

    I think the only way to do that, would be to delete all of the groups, and re-enter them in the order you would like... I haven't tried it, but it
    should work. :)

    i think the only way is to hex edit the fgroup.dat file. you can see the file format in the records.112 file inside docs folder. make backups first. its not very difficult.

    No. You would need to delete and re create them in the order and with the labels you want to use, then you would need to use the global editor on
    tagged file bases to update the ACS codes according to the new schema you had set up.

    Mine do also. Thankfully I work from home now... so a lot of people have
    been spared with smacks upside the head... :)

    Unfortunately, one of the side effects of not being able to smack them is...
    me mumbling... "F*** it... I'm done for the day... to much stupidity today to keep working..."
