  • Normal file list type not automatically used for ASCII

    From Björn Wiberg@2:201/137 to g00r00 on Sat Aug 7 09:15:59 2021
    Hello g00r00!

    I noticed that when listing files, and a user has ASCII, Mystic appears not to automatically use (force usage of) "Normal" type file listings instead of "Full" screen type file listings. I.e. it will not ignore user setting #17.

    This is in contrast to the message editor type (user setting #15) and the message reader type (user setting #20), where Mystic appears to automatically use "Line" editor and "Normal" message reader, regardless of those settings, when a user has ASCII.

    Perhaps an easy fix?

    Thanks in advance!

    Best regards
    Björn

    It does fallback to to the non-full listing when ASCII mode is enabled and I just tested it on my BBS successfully.

    How are you listing files? There must be more to it then that!

    With the latest build the fallback for the file listing appears to work fine. I'll let you know if this problem re-surfaces. :)

    Thanks!
