 Hi,

I updated AdminTools 3.7.1 on few sites and I noticed that thing.

The procedure was that:

Scan for file change - no change, OK
Install update from disk (package) (from 3.6.8 to 3.7.1)
Scan for file change

And now on few site file scanner shows 12 new files, on few sites shows 6 new files.
I check that and result was that:

12 new files

administrator/components/com_admintools/engine/Filter/Stack/StackHoststats.php
administrator/components/com_admintools/views/schedule/view.html.php
administrator/components/com_admintools/views/schedule/tmpl/form.php

administrator/components/com_admintools/engine/Util/Transfer/Sftp.php
administrator/components/com_admintools/engine/Filter/Stack/StackErrorlogs.php

but these files

administrator/components/com_admintools/engine/Util/Buffer.php
administrator/components/com_admintools/engine/Util/Complexify.php
administrator/components/com_admintools/engine/Util/Transfer/Ftp.php
administrator/components/com_admintools/engine/Util/Transfer/TransferInterface.php
administrator/components/com_admintools/engine/Util/Transfer/Sftp.php
administrator/components/com_admintools/engine/Filter/Stack/StackErrorlogs.php

was marked as modified and uploaded on server like files 12 new.

I think there is everything OK, but I would like to send this behaviour to You.

Hello,

most likely on some sites there was an older version that didn't have such files installed, that's why you get the "new" alert, meanwhile on other ones you already got a more recent version where such files were already installed.

On each site I had the same version of AdminTools (3.6.8).

Nevermind, I hope it's not dangerous.

I can only think you had a partial installation and your update fixed it (sometimes Joomla "forgets" to copy all the files).

Anyway, it seems everything is fine.
