There appears to be a problem with the file sizes in the manifest.plist - they keep changing to nonesense numbers.
I became aware yesterday that all mine were wrong, so this morning I logged in and corrected them all, only to find that they are all wrong again. I believe others are having the same problem. Is this a problem with the manager?

Re: Problem with file size in manifest.plist
Shouldn't this be in Testing and bug reports?

Re: Problem with file size in manifest.plist
All the ones I've added seem fine.. you're not putting the size in quote marks or something, are you?
It should look like:
Edit: I just updated the master list in Oolite, exited the game and then checked the list, and all your OXZs are still showing a single digit for file size.. all the others though, are fine.
Umm.. sorry to have to ask this, but, after you change the filesize at http://www.oolite.org/admin/, you are remembering to click on the "Update manifest" button down the bottom of the page, each time, yes?

Most games have some sort of paddling-pool-and-water-wings beginning to ease you in: Oolite takes the rather more Darwinian approach of heaving you straight into the ocean, often with a brick or two in your pockets for luck. ~ Disembodied

Re: Problem with file size in manifest.plist
Yes, I am.
I am entering the number (in bytes) so for Aliens I am entering '25,092,231' (without any quote marks) copied from the 'Properties' dialogue for the file. I am updating the manifest so it shows as 25,092,231 in the file-size field, and this is also showing correctly in the actual manifest.plist at the bottom of the page. Then I go back to the main menu, open the manifest again, and it's wrong
But when I remove the commas, it works!
