That has been very helpful! Changing FooReader.xml such that <SourceProxy name="FooReader" ...> now belongs to <ProxyGroup name="internal_sources"> and leaving <FileSeriesReaderProxy name="FooSeriesReader" in <ProxyGroup name="sources"> (and subsequently adapting the subproxy definition for FileSeriesReaderProxy to refer to proxy group "internal_sources" instead of "sources") I got rid of the warning. > The calling of RequestInformation is a little tricky to explain.

So, I guess it shouldn't harm to add some code to prevent re-parsing the same file again in RequestInformation in case this->FileName hasn't changed since the last time RequestData has been called. Thank you very much for your patience and advice! Karl ______________________________________________________ GRATIS für alle WEB.DE-Nutzer: Die maxdome Movie-FLAT!
