Greetings! My mistake but I had one file out of 27 open in an editor when I tried to create a new database across the file set. Got the error message that basex 10.0 could not find (file-name), so I chose ok. Apparently basex failed at that point and did not skip the open file. No database was created. Not a problem because I closed the file and re-ran new but curious if that is the expected behavior? Or should it skip the locked file? Thanks for all the hard work!
