• Export To setting when copying/pasting message bases

    Hello g00r00!

    Hope all is well with you!

    I just noticed a small thing when copying (/C) and pasting (/P) message bases:

    When first entering the copy of the message base (i.e., the pasted one), the Export To field shows the same setting as the original message base does, e.g. "1 node(s)":

    # Net Address | 618:500/27 (Micronet) Autosigs | Yes #
    # Export To | 1 node(s) Private | No #

    But when actually "entering" the Export To setting, the list shows no
    nodes:

    # Base Typ#################### EchoMail Exports #####################ple #
    # Newsgrou# ### Description Address #ple #
    # QWK Name# ------------------------------------------------------- #ple #
    # Echo Tag# #ple #
    # File Nam# # #
    # Path # # #
    # List ACS# # #
    # Read ACS# # #
    # Post ACS# #ead #
    # Sysop AC# #mrd #
    # List EAC# #mlst #
    # # # #
    # Net Addr# # #
    # Export T# # #
    # Origin # ------------------------------------------------------- # #
    # QWK Netw# Press / for command list # #
    # QWK Base########################################################### #

    When exiting the list and getting back to the message base settings,
    Export To now shows "0 node(s)":

    # Net Address | 618:500/27 (Micronet) Autosigs | Yes #
    # Export To | 0 node(s) Private | No #

    I believe the same thing happens if you enter the copied message base (the first time!), exit back to the list of message bases, and then re-enter the copied message base.

    Perhaps the Export To setting could be updated before the message base settings are displayed?

    (Not exporting a copied message base to any nodes makes sense, of course.)

    Just thought I would mention this.
    Many thanks in advance!

    Best regards
    Bjorn
