Hi Eliot,
I was surprised to see your observation leading me back to an adjustment made in 2014. Back then, global parsing options erroneously influenced the behavior of fn:doc. The global value of the CREATEFILTER, among others, is now considered when using db:create. See [1] for the whole picture and [2] for a new snapshot.
Cheers, Christian

In my basex/.basex file I have this local option:
# Local Options
CREATEFILTER=*.xml,*.dita,*.ditamap
I have three BaseX instances running.
And in the DBA panel for an instance not running on the default port (i.e., on port 10894) I see this in the Local Options column:
*CREATEFILTER*
*.xml,*.dita,*.ditamap
*SKIPCORRUPT*

However, if I do this from the Query console of that same server:
db:create(‘mydatabase’, ‘/path/to/docs’)
The resulting database only reflects .xml files, not .dita or .ditamap files.
I’m wondering if this is a bug in how CREATEFILTER is being applied or my misunderstanding of the implications for CREATEFILTER?
This is running 9.6.4 on Centos.
If I specify createfilter directly on the db:create() call then of course it works as expected.
Cheers,
E.
