I suppose so. I've been having a horrible time trying to duplicate the bug. I thought I had duplicated it yesterday, but it was just the missing volume label thing. > > I fixed this by > > creating a fake volume label out of the volume reference number for > > vfs volumes that have no volume label. > > That might fix the symptom (and create other problems:), but it's not > a solution that will stay in the code base for long, since it would > be better to fix the problem instead, i.e. assign a volume label. I am not sure it would create any other problems (unless, I suppose, the user happens to have a card with the same label as my fake label). Sure, the volume reference number can switch around as cards are plugged in and out, but then it's just a matter of the user's refreshing the document list. The solution is much better than not letting the user view any of the files on the card. Anyway, if the user has volume labels assigned to all cards, then the present code works as well as the old code. It only deviates in behavior in circumstances where the old code failed entirely. This certainly seems to be an improvement. Alex _______________________________________________ plucker-dev mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://lists.rubberchicken.org/mailman/listinfo/plucker-dev
