subject: Mass upload after deletio

Hello g00r00!

I noticed that if I first delete a file from a file base, e.g.:

 ° Editing Uploads                                                      9 of 9
 °    Path /mnt/bbs/mystic/files/local/uploads/

1) f.arc

2) File Size   70 bytes           3) Uploader  Zip
4) File Date   08/04/21           5) Downloads 0
6) Status      Normal

(M) Move     (V) View Archive (H) Hatch      (E) Mail Uploader  (Q) Quit: Q

(exiting file listing with Esc)

...and then perform a mass upload (/M):

Upload files in all directories?  Yes  No (No selected)

 ° Mass Upload

  Processing: Uploads...

    File    gwo0.11-sample-win32.lzh
    Upload? (Y)es (N)o (A)ll (G)lobal All (S)kip Area (Q)uit: Q

...it finds another, already (in the file listing) existing file and wants to add it again!

I of course quit with Q:

 Added 0 files

But *if* I let it add it:

 ° Mass Upload

  Processing: Uploads...

    File    gwo0.11-sample-win32.lzh
    Upload? (Y)es (N)o (A)ll (G)lobal All (S)kip Area (Q)uit: Y

Enter description. Max 99 line(s). Blank line ends.
01: Test 2
02:


 Added 1 files

...the file listing now shows:

                             Test
                             À Uploader: Zip
 (cut)

 (hitting Page Down to go to the bottom)

 03 gwo0.11-sample-win32.lzh                                    821KB 08/04/21
                             Test 2
                             À Uploader: Zip

...so I get duplicate entries (although I chose a different Description for the "new" one to be able to distinguish it).

Have you noticed anything similar on your installation?
I'm not sure if it could be the long filename causing any of this...

If I perform a mutil PackFileBases after the deletion, a subsequent mass upload (correctly) does not find anything "new".

Thanks in advance!

Best regards
