Afternoon all - the subject line says it all, really. After I've imported a rule it won't show up anywhere until I've restarted Bet Angel. Closing/reopening Guardian alone has no effect.

I've only imported a couple of times, as I'm paranoid that I might miss some setting in a downloaded file resulting in something running away with me, but there are some nifty display-based files that I'd love to add. It's not always convenient to restart BA, though.

Is there some way to force BA to re-check the Automation folder?

It should never require a restart

As soon as a file is imported it should be visible and ready to use

Is this happening on all file types you try to import or just certain ones?

Well, I've probably just wasted your time, Apologies.

Having reopened Guardian, there they are. I realise now that I posted mine assuming that reopening Guardian would make no difference, because that is the behaviour that I'd noticed before. Anyway, they're there now.

I can definitely confirm that they didn't appear without closing/reopening Guardian, though. When working on rules, I move those of no interest out of my automation folder to ensure that I'm working on the correct ones. Only having 5 rules in there prior to the import, there's no way that I could have missed them before. The imports were standard *.BAF files, ones that have been kicking around on here for yonks.

Sorry for time-wasting, but appreciate the typical lightning response, thanks.

Are you importing them correctly using the 'import a rules file' option in Guardian, or just pasting them into the Bet Angel 'Automation' folder?
