Table 143. Sleepycat Files Required for Stylus Studio Access

Stylus Studio creates a unique pseudo-name for each named file in a container. Files without a name (supported only in Berkeley DB XML Version 1.2.1) are invisible to Stylus Studio. The pseudo-name consists of the file's name, concatenated with a pound sign (#) and the file ID assigned by Berkeley DB XML.

Example - Berkeley DB XML V 1.2.1

Consider the following files in a container as seen by Berkeley DB XML V 1.2.1:

  • flotsam.xml
  • flotsam.xml
  • jetsam.xml
  • [a file without a name]

When you display this container in the Stylus Studio Open dialog box, only these files appear:

  • flotsam#1.xml
  • flotsam#2.xml
  • jetsam.xml

Note that only duplicate file names are assigned a numeric ID. The fourth, unnamed, file, is not visible to Stylus Studio.
