Hi :) The way Andreas describes Base's internal back-end makes a lot of sense out of what i have always heard about the internal back-end functioning so badly. Trying to read/write into a file inside a zip-file is often tricky and i just hadn't thought about that wrt Base.
However, i was under the impression that the devs move to using a different internal back-end would give them a chance to do a better job of it. Sometimes prototyping really helps identify difficult areas. Also running a system for a long time does sometimes flag up issues that may not have been noticeable at the time. So i thought the move to a different internal back-end would at least make it possible to upgrade that back-end and maybe keep it less heavily tweaked and thus more inline with their own documentation to help people with all sorts of issues. Even just a couple of things like that might be a huge improvement.
