"detailed files" works fine in 2.7.4 which was the

I believe it is too generous to say that it improves the situation
*not*
to upgrade. "Forego a new version, because you can't trust it" is
not a
solution, it is a coping mechanism. (-:
What is particularly frustrating about this bug is that it looks
simply
like bad counting on the part of the engine. The permissions
component
is just wrong, but the mod date is now item 6 of detailed files
instead
of item 5. Grrr. I make lots of mistakes and the ones that grind
on me
the most are ones like this that are due to my own sloppy
housekeeping.
So my advice to the Rev team: shoot for the stars in improvements,
yes,
but make sure the on-board toilet keep working while you are on the
journey.
Thanks to all for responding. This list is cheaper than
counseling, and
much more effective.
