You're right!

I've finally managed to reproduce the BCL error list in your screendump:

In the "B-Controls" window, when you open a syx file containing BCR data for a BCF (even an "Offline" one), you get one of two error reports:

1. A "MIDI error log" window saying just "Error: .../Wrong model".
This happens when the sysex messages in the syx file contain 15h(=BCR) for Model ID.

2. A "BCL errors" window containing a long list of errors, starting with "Line 1: $rev R1" / "Error 4: Invalid model".
This happens when the sysex messages in the syx file contain 7Fh(=any model), as I explained in one of my previous posts.
This is exactly as in your screendump.

In either case, the BCF row in the B-Controls window does accept the file name, which causes the same error window to show up whenever you start BC Manager - until you "Detach" the file or open a new one, or indeed remove the whole BCF row by "Close selected".

So this must be what happened in your case.
Thanks for sticking with this issue to figure it out!

It's not a bug as such in BC Manager, but it is confusing, so I'll think about whether I can optimize BC Manager's behavior concerning this point. Maybe I could add some extra info to the error message window(s) about the source/cause of the problem.

Thanks!
Mark.
