Hi,
here are some frustrating observations when importing HF Classic files into HF Client/Server using the HF Control Center v21
1 - in the analysis, one can define the logical name of a file and the name on disk. HF Control Center will only detect files where logical name = file name on disk
2 - HF Control Center does not recognize any other file extensions than .FIC !!! We're using .DAT because "FIC" sounds like a bad word in German (means the same as "fuck" in English).
3 - After changing all of the file names and all of the file extensions manually, it recognizes the files and seemingly does import them, i.e. it takes a lot of time to import and ends with a message box saying that it's finished. However, while all of the files are shown in the database not a single record appears in any of the files. Trying to repair all of those empty files ends with a decent crash.
Similar experience with HF Control Center v22 with the nice add-on that it's crashing already at the end of the import without telling me that the import could be done successfully .... no records in the database.
Same goes with not defining the analysis file (.wdd) which is possible and of course does not transfer the integrity rules (links).
