Title: Rules do not sync
Post by JohnSmith on 10/02/08 at 04:11:55

To check rules synchronization I did the following:
a) created new file from new default.ect (thank you for it)
b) created its synchronized copy
c) and played with the original file and its sync_copy just by opening and closing them in turn under ecco32 or eccoext.

It seems that a rule synchronization depends on where a rule had been created (or edited).

Rules created under ecco32 sync when the sync_copy is opened either with ecco32 or eccoext.

Rules created under eccoext do not sync either with ecco32 or eccoext.

Besides, for a traditional rule to be functional it needs to be created under ecco32, i.e. a traditional rule created under eccoext does not function (yes, the option Enable Traditional Rules is checked).

Eccoext 4.0.0.1 under XP

may have something to do with bypass of dialog asking to apply new rules to old items....

This bug is very annoying for us as I am frequently modifying the scripts and the synced copy is not updated.
However, I found a workaround: Open the file with the LUA rules in std. Ecco instead.
Then simply click "Auto Assign Rules..." to open the dialog box. Close it again w/o doing anything.
Now the rule is synced with the the other copy (running EccoExt).

BTW, why is a "0" added when looking at the rule in std Ecco??
For example:
++:L:-- test (as entered in EccoExt)
++0:L: -- test (when looking at the rule in std Ecco).

Is it safe to remove the "0"?
