Apparent failure to update files about vmcp-upconversion

I hope that it is "Good morning!" when you see this.
Now working very well! thanks.
Appending a wild card is fine, and beats clicking anyday.

OK I've found the bug which I did introduce along with the file deletion functionality. It's a small thing. Trying to read a file from the wrong folder.

I will see if I can fix it now before I go to bed.

Thanks,
but remember "more haste, less speed" so don't lose your sleep!

It's running now and it looks like it's updating the files correctly.

I had altered the bit of the pipeline that reconciled the Word documents and the OpenDocument documents that were derived from them; before, it had used to check each Word document to see if it was newer than the corresponding OpenDocument version, and if so, it would run the OpenOffice converter to regenerate the OpenDocument file, and then set its date to match the Word file's date; but I changed it so that it also ran through all the OpenDocument files, and checked that there was still a Word version of each one; if not, then it would delete the OpenDocument file. In the process, I'd buggered up all the path names by appending a base directory Dropbox/Rod shared/Mueller letters/ with the path name of each Word file, but also starting from the Mueller letters folder, i.e. Mueller letters/1860-9/1862/62-07-04-final.doc; the result was a complete path name of Dropbox/Rod shared/Mueller letters/Mueller letters/1860-9/1862/62-07-04-final.doc (which of course doesn't exist) and the upshot was that things weren't getting updated at all.

Thanks for your patience! I'll take a look at the search issue tomorrow. I don't know what would cause that, but perhaps it's another upshot of this same problem, in which case it may be solved too.

It looks good! The weird table is now beautifully clear.

Regarding searching, I'm puzzled as to why it would be behaving differently since I can't think of anything I've changed that would affect the search indexing. XTF does have a bunch of different search options, and I don't claim to understand them all, but in fact I wouldn't have expected the search to have returned those broader matches, as you described, unless you appended a * (meaning 'with any suffix') to your search term. e.g. search for 87.10.26* -- that at least does work as you'd hope. Will that do you? The other, "clickier" option is to use the "Date" facet and click your way through the decade, year, and month down to the day in question.

Finished my cup of tea; I'm off to bed with a good book!
