Hi Frank It could have been that but I cant confirm, as it worked since. I use a tool to set up reads in one go and part of it is to set up cache to always then run localise.
I could easily have not used the tool, when testing in which case what you describe may have been the case. Are you saying though that it goes through the motions if it shouldn't cache? I cant confirm now until New Year. Not going to be any where near a Nuke til then, yaye!
