converting a zmud session
|
I unfortunately decided to convert my old zmud aetolian system, and to my luck the old session overwrote the new one that I had already created... as of course they both had the same name: aetolia.
when downloading files often it appends [1] or something along those lines to files that have names similar to those already in existence.
Suggestion: can you make the coversion process not overwrite existing mud files? that was kinda a nuisance... |

ok fortunately the actual file names were slightly different and I was able to recover the data... the icon association was the only thing that was changed. I'm not sure if the file would have been overwritten, but since the files were copied to the smae folder, I'd imagine it's quite possible it can take place. at any rate, no harm no foul.

CMUD will never overwrite any *.MUD file. CMUD uses the *.PKG extension instead. Also, when overwriting an existing *.PKG file, CMUD will always make a backup like filename_bak.pkg. So I think it's already doing as much as it can.

it could prompt and ask if you want it to be copied to the folder of an already existing pkg though.
If a file already exists, it's rare that you would want it overwritten without notification. (or the possibility to change to a different file name.) |
