Thanks to Christian Grün's prompt response to my question about attributes, I upgraded to Basex 6.5.1 the other day. And I've run into an unexpected behavior. I have several versions of the Unicode database in XML (the Unicode consortium started shipping XML versions with 5.1.0, and I've created XML documents with the information I need for all the earlier versions); they are all in directory ~/2011/Unicode. But when I ask to create a new database in the GUI, giving that directory as the path and accepting the default pattern of *.xml, the only document in the resulting database appears to be the small schemas.xml file that nXML mode placed in one of the subdirectories of ~/2011/Unicode when I edited an XSLT stylesheet there. What I was expecting was that all the XML documents in that subtree of the file directory would be added -- I think that was the behavior in earlier versions. Has something changed? Or have I gotten out of practice and done something wrong? I hope this is clear; I can try to explain further if needed. Thanks! -- **************************************************************** * C. M.
