Hello g00r00!

In mutil FileToss, if I have auto_create = true, is it possible to have it *not* to append an actual prefix to the directory and data files of the auto-created file base?

That is, can I use something like:

dir_prefix = /mnt/bbs/files/autocreated/

(And should there be a trailing slash?)

...so that it would create /mnt/bbs/files/autocreated/EXAMPLE as the directory (File Path), and all the data files (Data File) in Mystic's data directory would be named EXAMPLE.*.

Or does dir_prefix always require an actual prefix in it, such as:

dir_prefix = /mnt/bbs/files/autocreated/ftoss_

...which would create /mnt/bbs/files/autocreated/ftoss_EXAMPLE as the directory (File Path), and ftoss_EXAMPLE.* data files (Data File) in Mystic's data directory.

Best regards
Björn

Have you tried it by chance? I think you can probably do exactly that. You would want to put the trailing slash on it like you have it above.

Hello g00r00!

Thank you for your reply!

I think I tried it before, but that was quite some time ago. I'll update my configuration and let you know if I stumble on anything suspicious. :)

Thanks again!
