670.0. "FileView, nodename in Filter." by BRSSWS::RIJMENANTS (Dirk Rijmenants) Tue Apr 25 1989 08:57

    Hi,
    
        A small question...
    
        When specifying a filter in FileView like:
    
             Node"Username Password"::Device:[Directory]*.something
    
        It seems to work as the selected files are "updated" (the filenames
        are displayed...) But, if you select "Views" to be Size and Date
        it displays all the files to be 0 blocks and dating as from
        17-nov-1858 00:00:00.00...
        Also the message :
    
            "There was an error opening the device
             some file information was not updated
             Invalid logical name"
    
        Is this supposed to be like this or an I doing something
        wrong? Has anyone seen this behaviour? Workaround?
    
        Thanks for your help
    
                      Dirk

	You're not doing anything wrong. The incorrect size and date info on files from a remote node is a known problem. We will try to correct the message to reflect the case where we can't get the desired file info. Tom
