Hi Thoralf,
I just stumbled upon what I believe is a bug in pool: sending a clrall-message to a pool object does not seem to entirely delete the contents of a dir - a getall afterwards yields "pool - getall type not supported!" error messages. This is actually not a big deal, since pools key outlet doesn't output anything in such a situation, but the error messages are annoying and increasing in number if one repeats the deletion and creation procedure.
that's indeed a serious bug. I'm wondering how it could have survived for such a long time. I fixed it in cvs and updated the binaries in http://grrrr.org/ext/beta.
Another thing I'm working on (still...) is to load and save values from sub-directories with pool. I actually got this working once, but I cannot find the proof-of-concept-patch anymore - my bad. It would be great if someone could lead me on the right tracks here.
what about "chdir", "svdir" and "lddir" messages?
many thanks, Thomas
