Hi Rob,

On 2025-05-12 17:26:41, you wrote to Git commit to main/sbbs/master:

There is a FTSC document which describes rescanning options for Area Managers: http://ftsc.org/docs/fsc-0057.003 paragraph 5.

It's in the reference library (I don't know why it didn't make it as a standard). But I think it would be smart to follow it.


Bye, Wilfred.
