 * Heads up – when a site is migrated (e.g., from a test site), the baseurl value
   is retained in the database copy (of course) but the options page only shows 
   the possibilities for the current site, which means it does not show the value
   that is actually being used in the migrated database. You have to click ‘Save
   Changes’ (though nothing was apparently changed) to get the baseurl updated in
   the database. Without this step, the document links will all point back to the
   test site after a migration. Not a big deal, but also not obvious until you notice
   that your documents are all linking to the test site.
 * Congrats on putting together a divine plugin.

 * Thanks, yes. I’m aware of this. I clone sites with file away installations every
   week. First thing I do after cloning the site is going into File Away settings
   and hit save.
