I put a 48k file into the external list (datestamped yesterday and placed in a subfolder of SF's output folder), set it's 'Disable CRC check' to true and set the runtime folder to %SourceFolder%\{my subfolder}.
Built the setup package.
Everything worked ok when I ran setup.
Then I replaced the file with a newer version (72k datestamped today) and ran setup again.
NOTE: I did this without rebuilding setup, which I presume is--or should be--unnecessary for external files. This is a large setup package which takes quite some time to build, which is precisely why I decided to make certain (variable) files External
This time the file it creates is corrupted in a very weird way. It has picked up the newer file's icon but it has the old file's datestamp and--weirdest of all--it has created it to a different size (64k)!
Is there something about external files I'm missing here?
