The fact that third-party tools are actually needed to operate a functioning
BrickLink store is definitely a BrickLink problem in my book.

Thank you

| I know MOST errors people report are their own fault due to changes they make.
(made some myself over the years for sure )
I know only a VERY FEW errors people report are not their own fault and DO happen....
I know that downloading an inventory CAN be helpful to find errors made by people.
Because of the merge in operation (and that will take some months I understand!)
we are forced to increase the monitoring of the inventory to CHECK nothing strange
DOES happen to the parts in store.
That's what both of you (SylvainLS and 1001bricks) suggest to do IN ORDER
to be able to PROOF it's not the users' error. That's the ridiculous
part of the response both of you add to the discussion.
And because the merging will be a process that's happening on a daily basis,
sellers are 'forced' to do these downloads and checks on a daily basis?
We are not paid to do these checks, every day. I think we pay the fees in order
NOT to be forced to do these checks on a daily basis.....

| If the seller didn't change the ID, what/who did?
If the seller didn't change the prices, what/who did?

| "... that sellers still don't download their Inventory XML everyday and
use
BrickStore to compare or restore any problem."
Seriously?
Do you really say that this is what's required to maintain a correct inventory
on BL these days?
That's the equivalent of checking every aisle in a grocery store after closing
time.
Every day.
Again.
All day's.
....
If this is true, the database and the way it handles orders and other changes
is even more gone astray than I could imagine....

| Progress is not always for the better.
This is one of those cases where it seems an improvement (technically) what in
real life generates more paperwork so less people will be connected to each other
and the administration world takes control of the real world. The effect: Norwegians
will buy local only. Here's your "..... first!" at play in another
part of the world.
So sad if technocrates decide about processes they seem to refuse to comprehend
and demand non-technocrates to follow and stand in line.
(And no: this is NOT about fair taxing etc. This about a completelly different
issue: an over-controlled government that tries to catch small fishes so the
sharks can grow bigger).

be done manually by Admin...

Thanks for that reflection. However an old problem felt as new is still a felt
problem.
If it never has been felt as a problem, and now it does, it doesn't make
it a lesser problem.
Even if the 'age' of the problem is several decades, it doesn't make
the effect felt less.

| Uploading the original XML's will default into the same errors you reported.
Downloading the XML's NOW from Rebrickable, fixes this .
Apparently there's a realtime check when the XML's are generated. That's
nice.
So you need to re-download your XMLS  .
Opening old XML's in BrickStore will start a migration from the old to the
new ID's (see pic).
Crap, a big list to update this weekend.....

| Does this mean ALL XML's for example at Rebrickable are affected by the merger
too?
I got hundreds of these file in my collection.
And only a manual update will do the trick.... I feared the merge operation when
it was announced, but this is plain stupid!
Many will be affected, collectors, sellers, buyers, all. At places we never been
notified of beforehand.
