  • Feature request for hatchit.js

    From Al@1:103/705 to Digital Man on Wednesday, January 06, 2021 03:27:03
    Hello Digital Man,

    I just used hatchit.js to hatch a file and it worked well. Sometimes when hatching files I need to replace an existing file and hatchit didn't ask me for the filename to replace.

    Is it possible hatchit.js can be modified to ask for the filename to replace and add a "Replaces" line to outgoing tic files when there is an existing file to replace?

    Ttyl :-),

    Likely, yes. I haven't used or looked at HatchIt, but I'll add it to my todo list.

    Hello Digital Man,

    for the filename to replace.

    and add a "Replaces" line to outgoing tic files when there is an existing file to replace?

    Likely, yes. I haven't used or looked at HatchIt, but I'll add it to my todo list.

    Is running hatchit always a manual process or do people automate it? You'd
    have to be careful it doesn't get hung up waiting for input if it's on an automatic run.

    Sorry about that, use trmb.synchro.net.
