I've opened a ticket containing my remarks from a previous mail. As I was digging more into this issue I found out that the replay_metadata feature seemed to be already implemented as desired. But you don't skip as I was imagining -- as Romain pointed out earlier, in fact.
In any case, here's a variation of your script, I simply changed the order of transitions, and it behaves well. The transition() is the one that skips and it should be done when leaving I realized that your transitions skip only when coming back to On Tue, Feb 23, 2010 at 11:09 AM, Romaric Petion <roma...@saooti.com> wrote: > Ok, It seems to work as needed! > > Many thanks > > Romaric > > -----Message d'origine----- > De : David Baelde [mailto:david.bae...@gmail.com] > Envoyé : mardi 23 février 2010 16:56 > À : Romain Beauxis > Cc : savonet-users@lists.sourceforge.net; Romaric Petion > Objet : Re: [Savonet-users] Issue with Metadata and fallback with skip > source > > Hi Romaric, > > I have (finally) tested your script, and I confirm the surprising > behavior on the SVN version.
