Hi Chris,
First and second run are completed without warnings in the eventlog. So
I believe the problem is solved. At a later moment I will run a compare
to check the store.
Is there already a solution to 'touch' files for re-upload? There are
utilities for windows to do that, but maybe it would be handy to add a
switch to the compare command, to upload those automatically?
Thanks for the bugfix! I will monitor the eventlog for any abnormalities.
Cheers,
Roy
