Ecco DDE Bugs

The bugs hints towards a duality in the one-pane organizer — when is a folder a column, and a folder — a folder?, if a folder is not a folder, is it still a valid folder?

Ecco DDE Bug #1

When you don’t save a file, but depend on backup, some of the file-data would not be saved correctly.

1. Create a new file.
2. Create a new folder and leave it there in edit-mode
3. Wait a while, don’t save it.
4. After a few minutes, the auto-save kicks in.
5. After some time, customer’s file gets corrupted, then uses recovered file.
6. Do an import. The folder id is missing (example value — “50”), no “type” (example value — “3”)is present, this issue persists in the file.

When imported to StoryServer, StoryServer re-generates the number and resets the default type to “checkbox”.

Ecco DDE Bug #2

1. Create a new file.
2. Delete the “New Columns” folder, and add your own.
3. Create a new folder and leave it there, in edit-mode.
4. Wait a while, don’t save it.
5. After a few minutes, the auto-save kicks in.
6. After some time, customer’s file gets corrupted, then uses recovered file.
7. Do an import. The folder parent ID is missing “” (example value — “1"). This issue persists in the file.

When imported to StoryServer, StoryServer re-generates the “new column” and adds it to the “new column”.

Ecco DDE Bug #3

1. Add “ double quote to the folder. Example — Test”Data
2. The next folders after this, uneven quotes — “Scramble (without ending quotes), Scratch Pad” (Without starting quotes).

When importing into StoryServer, this uneven quote issue is fixed.

Hints of dual-nature of EccoPro

The strange DDE bugs #1, #2 hints at at underlying data-structure that FolderID is not used, and there are not one, but two or possibly three separate data structures that holds Folder-ID, Folder-Name and Folder-Type.
