Because 'now' is a case insensitive substring of each of those selectors (like ..known.. or ..nOwner.. , both seem quite common). > On 19 Feb 2017, at 12:20, Mark Neagu <mark(a)mneagu.fr> wrote: > > Hi everybody, > > The Finder has answered my question but the proper answers were sort of hidden in a heap of apparently insignificant answers. > > I'm sure it's useful and I would like to understand how, if someone is gentle enough to tell me. > > Cheers, > Mark<Finder does strange things.jpg>

Strange behavior

by Mark Neagu

Hi everybody, The Finder has answered my question but the proper answers were sort of hidden in a heap of apparently insignificant answers. I'm sure it's useful and I would like to understand how, if someone is gentle enough to tell me. Cheers, Mark

I've looked at the configurations and I don't see anything odd ... as you have observed, without Seaside pre-installed Voyage/Magritte will not cause Seaside to get loaded ... In addition if just Seaside is installed, there is no reason I can see that Voyage/Magritte would cause Seaside to be updated ... UNLESS, Magritte-Seaside is installed. Below you mention that Magritte3 from ConfigurationBrowser is installing Seaside update as well, and that would be consistent with the Magritte-Seaside package being loaded for some reason ... I would be interested to see how you loaded Seaside in the first place. Were you loading Magritte first? I am wondering about how Magritte-Seaside package is getting installed ... I have some ideas about better ways to solve your installation problem, but I've run out of time tonight ... I will send more mail tomorrow...
