2492.0. "RFF and MCF to other drawer include extra folders" by COPCLU::ELIN (Elin Christensen @DMO, DTN 857-2406) Tue Mar 30 1993 10:22

Has anybody else seen this problem?
We have seen it on a system running ALL-IN-1/Dansk v3.0-1

RFF and MCF to other drawer include too many folders.
----------------------------------------------------

RFF, Refile folder, - and MCF, Make copy of folder, work correctly when
refiling or copying to another folder in the same drawer, but if you try to
refile or copy a folder to another drawer, additional folders might be
refiled or copied too. 
This happens with folders that have names consisting of the
selected folder's name followed by a space and something more.

Example:

If you have folder names

A1
A1 V3.0
A1-BUGS
A123

and you do MCF on folder A1 to another drawer, then all documents in A1 and 
A1 V3.0 will be copied. 
(If you do MCF of A1 to another folder in the same drawer, only A1 will be
copied.)

2492.1	Yes I can reproduce it	AIMTEC::WICKS_A	Oscar the Grouch is an Optimist!	`Wed Mar 31 1993 01:55`	15
	Elin, I've just reproduced this on an system running ALL-IN-1 v3.0 AMERICAN ENGLISH - i.e no patch ans indeed all the documents end up in folder A1 in the other drawer. Refiling between Drawers invokes the File Cab Server whereas refiling in the same drawer doesn't so I wonder if there is a different code path at play here. File Cab experts please? regards, Andrew.D.Wicks
2492.2	sounds familiar	CHRLIE::HUSTON		`Wed Mar 31 1993 09:18`	11
	When I read this it sounded terribly familiar, so I checked with one of the old developers who would have fixed it. He also remembers it. Though the fix was for copying in the same drawer. The good news is that we THINK we know what it is. I will log a bug about it so it is not "forgotten" and will look into it when I get a spare second. --Bob
2492.3	Fixed in MUPA ...	ZUR01::KURTH	Peter Kurth @RLE, R�mlang (Switzerland)	`Tue Jan 25 1994 15:56`	13
	Hi all This problem with RFF has been fixed in ALL-IN-1 V3.0A (MUPA) BL61A 16-Dec-1993, but not in the old MUPA from 26-NOV-1993. Is this correct? A customer reported this problem and he has MUPA 26-NOV-1993 installed. I cannot reproduce this problem on my system, where MUPA 16-DEC-1993 is installed. So, if it is the MUPA, I will urge the customer to install the latest MUPA. Thanks and regards, Peter
2492.4	Publis Service Announcement	AIMTEC::WICKS_A	Atlanta's Most (In)famous Welshman	`Tue Jan 25 1994 16:24`	9
	Peter, You should ALWAYS encourage the customer to install a released version of any product - how did they get their 'pirate' copy - as that's the only one covered by their support contract. Regards, Andrew.D.Wicks
2492.5	Fixed in SSB	IOSG::STANDAGE		`Tue Jan 25 1994 16:35`	10
	Peter, This was fixed at the beginning of December. You need the MUPA SSB to pick up the fix, which is what your customer should really be running anyway ! Kevin.
2492.6	Same problem, different perspective, fixed in SSB	IOSG::STANDAGE		`Tue Jan 25 1994 16:41`	19
	Peter, A side effect of this problem is something quite disasterous if you're customer is running with TeamLinks. If you have the following folders: PC PC IMPLEMENTATION PC HARDWARE ...and you attempt to delete the first folder (PC)...all of them will be deleted !! So, there's a bit on encouragement to upgrade to MUPA SSB. Kevin.
