I have 203 baggage files in a project but only 45 of them
actually display under the Baggage Folder list in the Project
Manager. When I select new/baggage file and select one of
these...there is no response from RH. If I open the rhbag.apj file
with Notepad the files are listed - all of them! I don't see any
strange characters and we are very careful to name our baggage
files with underscores and only alpha/numeric characters.
If I rename the file outside of RH and then reimport it, it
will display and I can change the name back...but that's very
time-consuming for 160 files.
What is causing RH to not display these? Any topic linking to
them works. It just seems to be a display quirk for the folder
itself. I tried rebuilding the .cpd file and that didn't change
anything.
Anyone have any helpful tips on how to fix this? THANK
YOU!!!
That was worth a swing Rick. Teri I'm wondering if the 45
file figure is relevant or not. If you add a baggage file that
starts with "a", do 46 files appear? In other words, is it the 45th
file that is the issue?
If I add a file from outside of the folder (completely new
from another location), RH responds and I now have 46. Its name
appears in the right alphabetical order.
So would it be logical to physically move the missing 160
files out of the folder with Windows Explorer and then try
importing them from a separate location? Or would that be a try
sin?
Well...so much for that great idea! I copied 5 files that do
not display from the folder to another outside folder with Windows
Explorer. Then I tried adding them as new baggage files and got a
message "do you want to replace xxxx"...I said yes. RH did nothing
and the files do not display even though it knows they are there.
You could try the same again AFTER manually deleting the
files from the RHBAG.APJ file using Notepad. You may have hit the
ol' baggage file bug.
My train of thought with my previous response was that the
file after the 45th file was at fault and causing the baggage to
choke. Could you delete this file from the baggage and see if this
is at fault.
I went ahead and backed up the rhbag file, then rebuilt the
.cpd file with a rhbag file from a brand new project with no
baggage files in it. Of course there were none when this project
now opened. I can now import the baggage files and they display.
Crazy. Will just add all 160 in this manner and hope this is done.
Thanks again for your help...I have gremlins!
Umm! Glad you solved it. The baggage file functionality can
get a little flakey - particularly in earlier versions. I think RH7
is better - you don't say which version you are using - if you get
similar problems again.
