That is for the message echoes. I don't think the *file* echoes work that way. If they do, it is not well documented (or wasn't the last time I checked, which has been a while).

Even better, there's echocfg, how about a 'filecfg' or something similar. Basically be able to setup hosting file areas the exact same way as message areas?

I think that'd be tickitcfg.js.

Nah, I'd pass on that to get the "FILELIST" functionality. The <..>cfg utilities are just front-ends to the config files, and not really
needed. I wouldn't even use that, as I just edit sbbsecho.ini manually anyway as it is, rather than running echocfg. Editing tickit.ini is not
difficult.

Ah ok. I didn't know that was a thing.
Does that mean you eventually plan on converting echocfg to JS also?

If you're running Synchronet as a hub for multiple networks, you need to create separate echolists for each network. You can export them from SCFG as 'backbone.na' format (I think that's the format that just shows the echotag and description). Then in echocfg, you have to set those as your "EchoLists" with a key and the associated node number. This way, only the echolist(s) with the group/keys your link is setup for, will be shown to them.
Most other tossers work like this in some form, also. However, sbbsecho requires you to manually setup your lists, instead of matching groups (groups in HPT is the same as keys for sbbsecho) and pulling from a config file for you, like HPT does.
It was definitely an eye opener when I saw it for the first time, too. ;)

Nick

The file echos do not have this feature, and that is indeed what was
being asked about. We'd like to have "echolists" also for the file
areas (tickit/filefix).

Yes, that's for editing tickit.ini, but we're hoping for a file-echo equivalent of the functionality of 'echolists' for message echos.
There are a couple of open feature requests on this... ;-)

I put some ideas at gitlab issue, i tink that is not hard to implement with little mods of the code
