BUG #1:A long-standing bug which I just fell across yet again is that
the nextPrev generation inserts entries for index.html files even if
the hierarchy one is processing doesn't have them. This silly thing
is worthy of a fix. If I've chosen other names for the items, I
really don't want nextPrev assuming that I haven't finished yet and
will add an index.html. Just process what's there, thank you very
much.
Why am I noticing this today? Because old nextPrev entries won't work
with guest databases. Sigh. It breaks and doesn't generate any errors.
BUG #2: when a nextPrev entry is processed and there is no match it
would be nice to (at least optionally) be told that there is no
matching data in the list.
Specifically, entries which used to look like this:
GeekTimes.michael.["CU-SeeMe"].reflectors.index
Must now be regenerated to look like this:
["rosenkrantz:Users:mickey:Documents:web:GeekTimes.root"].GeekTimes.michael.["CU-SeeMe"].reflectors.index
