No one has ever asked for that. What would the rep files be named - .re0, .re1, etc.? Assuming you'd want them imported in order, would .rep come first or last?

Conversely, multiple qwk downloads from the same bbs are either rejected or prompted to be replaced.
Qwk seems to be intended to dealt with right after the DL or deleted. No?

That depends on the terminal program (or FTP client) which
is downloading the packets.

Normally, yeah. And usually, a QWK packet downloaded
immediately after another will contain no new messages.

Terminal FTP just overwrites, doesn't it?
Zmodem from Netrunner, overwrites.
Zmodem from Syncterm, prompts for replacement?

Absolutley. But my point is that in its inception the QWK
process probably never anticipated more than a handful of
downloads per day and only spread far apart long enough for the
user to deal with a previous packet and be done with it.

I currently use Blue Wave as my QWK reader. Whatever it does should be fully compatible with the QWK standard right ?
What is tg_BBS ?

Well, I want to match QWK filenames with their corresponding REPs (eg. "VERT0001.QWK" and "VERT0001.REP"). That way, I know which replies came from which packet.
Should it matter how the uploaded files are named ?
you could accept any
filename and unpack them right ? eg. I could upload "ABC.DEF" and "UVW.XYZ" in one batch and Synchronet could just loop through each one.
What I found when testing this use case on Vertrauen was the 2nd file in the batch transfer gets aborted.

Actually, I don't think of ANY BBS software that has that feature in
it.

filename and unpack them right ? eg. I could upload "ABC.DEF" and "UVW.XYZ" in one batch and Synchronet could just loop through each one.
No. The expected filename would be BBS-ID.REP (normally), but multiple REPs might be named BBS-ID.RE0, .RE1, etc. I'm not sure what your
offline reader does. But the BBS-side would want to import them in a deterministic order.
What is tg_BBS ?
It allows you to read and write messages to Fidoshnye ehi from
Telegram. Telegram. For example, using a smartphone or tablet.

Because that is not the way QWK works. You are trying to break a standard and Synchronet does not like that. I can't think of any BBS that will let you do that. It sounds like what you are wanting is the Blue Wave Door which I believe does something similar for that, but it
is only available for 2 or 3 BBS types - two of which are Maximus and
compatible with the QWK standard right ?
What is tg_BBS ?
Are you the author of the QWK code in Synchronet ?
Rob Swindell is the author of Synchronet. Synchronet uses the QWK standard written by another person/people.

No. The expected filename would be BBS-ID.REP (normally), but multiple REPs might be named BBS-ID.RE0, .RE1, etc. I'm not sure what your offline reader does. But the BBS-side would want to import them in a deterministic order.
Why does the order matter ?
Oh ok. I thought it was some BBS software.
I am sure some people think it is cool to use Fidonet on smart phones
and tablets
but it is not my style. I prefer to use pre-2000 stuff to
get a more authentic experience.
For example, I have "VERT.REP.001" and "VERT.REP.002" ... when I upload these les I might decide to rename the 002 to "VERT.REP" and upload it first.
Why does the order matter ?
The author of the messages may care. If you don't care the order in
which your messages are posted, then cool. --

Why do you have multiple REP files? Most QWK readers will allow you
to keep appending to the same REP until you are aready to upload it.
SLMR and MultiMail both do. When you reopen the/open a new QWK packet, they ask if you want to delete the REP. If you say no, the reader will reopen the old one and let you keep adding to it.
The messages all stay in order that way, too.
I think you are looking for a solution to a problem that doesn't
exist?
