Waht does "fixing broken links" actually do?

Yes, I know. It fixes broken links. :P But can someone explain more precisely what is meant by that?

If you use a tool like Windows Explorer to move a file (outside of MC) that creates a broken link in MC.  The database points to a file location that no longer exists.

And does MC remove this link or try to find it?

err...it says it cant find it and removes it.

There is a smartlist you can use to find the broken links with v11 before "fixing brokem links".

Check that and then if they are really lost MC will clear them up.

How easy would it be to write your own FTP control King ?

I had a Cat Scan Last Year, And When It Got To My Brain, The Tech Thought Somehow A Pea Got Into My Skull.

But you also must have it work across OS platforms, and having the control programed in "C" helps speed things up a bit.

C would speed things up but i dont think it might be signifcant here as it's not a server (or have i misunderstood that part). I was under the impression it would be more of a ftp client.
