    Hi Dm. I’d like to know why the filelist.exe is still included in the updates.

    Hi Dm. I'd like to know why the filelist.exe is still included in the updates.

    Because its been updated to support the new filebases used in v3.19 and (mostly) works. While the old filelist.exe (included in v3.18) does not. So I figured it's better to replace the totally-non-working filelist.exe with a mostly-working filelist.exe.

    But what about filelist.js then?

    filelist.js is the preferred utility for listing files, as the wiki says.

    So that means you can use either one?

    You really are a good person, DM. I assume you've had some 'stapler horder' like this on other projects in a work environment... this ISN'T... a work environment; theres no HR here.. and you're really - good.

    muhaahhahaaaha.

    DM, I wanna know why the flux capacitor is still running after the 2.o upgrade and theres no web hook??? come on man...

    You're free to use whatever you like, but my suggestion and request is that you (and other sysops) use filelist.js from here on out.
