Posting fills via a 'Miss_Wrong' CSV is literally
a matter of a few mouse-clicks. Thanks for posting
your list.

Yep! Easy-peasy.

Don't finalise your GrA collection and burn to
the archive media of your choice just yet - I'm
about to 'rock your world', as the expression
goes.
There exist 34 additional PhA sets (3187 files)
which are not listed in CD's CSV. Also, all of
the GrA sets (4526 files) were later re-logoed
and re-issued on the PhA web site.
I have all of these additional sets.
One small problem is that my files still have the
generic names as they existed on the site - all
of my file-names begin with '000-'. All PhA sets
existing in CD's CSV will pass my PhA CSV if they
are re-named back to the generic format.
I would like to post these additional sets, but
am unsure how to proceed. As a rule, I do not
believe that files should be re-named from they
way they existed on-site. However, CD's PhA sets
*were* re-named. Should I re-name mine as well?
And what is to be done about the re-logoed GrA
sets?
You may remember that I once said that it may be
time to abandon some of CD's CSVs and forge new
ones of our own? Well, now is the time to begin.
I propose the following:
1. All GrA sets bearing the GrandCompany logo should
be listed in a new CSV named 'GrC_perCD_4526.csv' or
similar.
2. All PhA sets should be listed in a new PhA CSV.
Folder names will no longer need to include the
' - PhA' suffix, as all sets will be PhA.
3. Generic file-names should be changed to include
the set names, as per CD's CSV.
4. Handling of the re-logoed GrA sets is open for
debate.
BTW, CD's GrA folder names didn't include any dots,
but my re-logoed GrA folder names do. Also, the
sets were not necessarily re-numbered in the same
sequence.
An alternative to creating separate CSVs might be
to include everything in one CSV, but to move sets
into sub-folders to keep things organised:
\GrA\
\GrA re-logoed\
\PhA\
The key word is *organisation*. We should think
about how this collection would best be organised,
and what would make any future reposts easiest to
manage.
Comments? Suggestions? Ideas?
