Subject: mutil PackFileBases does not flag files as offline? Date: Sat Jan 22 2022 11:22 am

Hello g00r00!

Now running the latest published A48 prealpha here. :)

I noticed that when I removed a file (MyGUI v1.0.2.26.zip) from disk and ran
./mutil -run PackFileBases afterwards, mutil did not flag the missing file as
offline, but merely as having a 0-byte file size.

The file listing shows:

 01 MyGUI v1.0.2.26.zip                                            0B 01/09/22

...and mutil.ini contains:

[PackFileBases]

        ; If true, MUTIL will check to make sure files exist, and will update
their
        ; file size in the listing, optionally removing missing files
(remove_missing)

        check_files = true

        ; If true, MUTIL will remove any files which do not exist from the file
        ; list database while checking integrity.  Otherwise they will be
flagged as
        ; OFFLINE in the file listing.  0 byte files are considered "missing"

        remove_missing = false

Do you know what could be causing this?

I have double-checked that the old file is not present on disk any longer:

bbs@glimmer:~$ find /mnt/bbs/files/fsxnet/FSX_MUTL/ -iname 'MyGUI*'
/mnt/bbs/files/fsxnet/FSX_MUTL/MyGUI137.zip

(That is a newer, different file.)

Thanks in advance!

Best regards
Björn
