Post From: Can't display chart of scid files of expired futures offline

There seem to be inconsistencies with this symbol system and behaviour.

I have succeeded in opening the expired scid file Z-291409-ICEEU when re-named Z-201409-ICEEU-GBP-1000.

However when calling for a new chart of the current front month from IB which is Z-201503 by using the full name Z-201503-ICEEU-GBP-1000 we are unsuccessful - see log attached

A subsequent request for Z-201503-ICEEU was accepted but the download is still on-going after circa 30 mins.

I will continue to explore the original query regarding expired contracts offline which is not satisfactorily resolved.

SC won't open OLD saved scid files and immediately makes calls to IB - why can't it read data SC created?

Is there some lack of backward data compatibility in the latest version?

I not in some cases, when a file appears to be opened but not displayed an F5 enquiry for properties shows that the date range of the file is "unknown"
An example is attatched
