Posts not getting marked 'downloaded' anymore
Posted: Sun Nov 30, 2014 8:12 amFor some reason, all the downloaded files are not getting marked as such, after closing and starting NB again. I'm using 6.54 build 3326.
What's happening: when I download files they get marked as downloaded in the group window as soon as they're finished (with the green icon). But when I start NB again, the next day or so, these files are just marked as old and when I try to d/l them again, I get the "duplicate" message - which is correct, of course.
It may seem a small problem, but when I look at an older group I basically have to guess which are old files, and which may have already been downloaded. And have to try to d/l all over again to be sure... well, and then the next time I start again, same thing happens again.
Which database would I have to delete, or repair or whatever, to get this fixed? Without loosing the "downloaded files" info.
I had to migrate my OS to a different harddrive recently but I don't think this has anything to do with it. I think, probably a database has been damaged (which is on a different HD though).
Thanks.
*edit
I just took a look at the "color/fonts" options and I realize, up until recently, downloaded files where marked as "partially downloaded" and stayed like that! So, there probably isn't anything wrong with the behaviour. The icon just changes to a blue one with a "P" in it, the next time NB is started. As long as it's running, they're marked "partially". Any thoughts on why d/l files are being marked as "partially downloaded" even though they're finished? And change into that "P" icon? Seems, the "PAR file included" info overrides the "file downloaded" info...
