I used Copy and Paste to move the Old
Afl file to the Formulas folder. While, the orginal links dont get corrupted,
formulas are visible on the Tree so that the next time, one wishes to modify /
add it to a pane, one can do it from here. Might be a little clumsy (since there
will be 2 editions of the files, but works without any probs).

Tomasz, I never MOVED any afl files in
Windows Explorer (only
deleted). I'm quite sure these files were in the
AFL folder from
before the ChartTree/Drag&Drop feature was introduced
and they simply
stayed there.

Yes I've seen that,
but in order to keep the "shipped" formulas it
would seem more appropriate
to have a one-time operation of moving
everything from AFL to Formulas
folder. This however will probably
lead to "File cannot be found"
messages... ?
It's kind of strange, am I the only one with indicators
in the "old"
AFL folder? In any case, what would you advise
?
