[MIB Designer] BUGs in MIB-Designer?

Hi!
I've doubly checked the repository since I was not sure whether ClearCase had to add files for its versioning purposes. But there are only binary MIB files and one file called "MODULE.IDS", which I suppose is also related to MIBDesigner.
Anyway, I think MIBDesigner & Co. should rather keep an additional file listing all valid binary MIB files instead of insisting on a "pure" MIBDesigner directory. Even if ClearCase does not I can imagin versioning tools that must place additional files there. The perfomance loss introduced by this indirection should be worth the stability of MIBDesigner.
Kind regards and thanks for the quick anser,
Jürgen

Hi Juergen,
Thank you for the detailed bug report.
I have difficulties to reproduce the first issue
where adding a column fails. Maybe this is related
to the third one where your MIB repository is
getting invalid.
Are you sure that only files MIB Designer created
internally are in your MIB repository directory?
For example, there must not be any text files in
this directory.
I have fixed the exception caused by the scenario
of issue three for the next release.
The second one (retain OID suffix from column editor)
will be also fixed for the next update release
which should be available for download until mid
October.
Hope this helps.
Best regards,
Frank
