(...) OK, that sounds fair. I believe it would be a good idea for MBC to report when a file (or files) are missing. A single list of all missing files would be much better than a dialog per file. As I found out, there does not appear to be any error (...) (21 years ago, 28-Feb-04, to lugnet.cad.dev.mac, FTX)
