edit: But then again .. this link works fine

"|H2DC50E:item:30148:1:7:0:0:0:0:0:0:0:0:0:0:0:0:0:0:0:0:0|hblue entoloma|h"

edit2: Very curious, the same item and thus the same link shows as both bad and good linking even though the link is only stored once for each item name. As the 2nd screenshot shows.
edit3: Aha, looks like the discrepancies are because it has stored it twice. Once under account [""] and once under ["@Xrystal"]. Guess a bit more investigation to do to find out which to keep and which to discard.
Sigh,
Looks like I will be re-writing XrysGatherer big time again .. the link data I have stored away is now corrupt because it has the name stored in it.
As per the history screen showing the link that should be clickable to show the tooltip but as the screenshot shows, now shows an error.
And this of course is the existing link stored.
Lua Code:
"|H2DC50E:item:30166:1:13:0:0:0:0:0:0:0:0:0:0:0:0:0:0:0:0:0|hwater hyacinth|h"
Scratch goes the idea of storing the link for later display, if they do something like this. I was considering using the uniqueID ( 30166 ) as the key and just storing the link for extracting the rest of the information.
I'm not quite sure how this can be rectified short of ignoring the link altogether and storing everything else and thus taking up more space, which has already found to be a problem with saved variables.
I'm currently in the process of writing a set of addons to convert and utilise a more compact set of data, and this has now put a spanner in the works.
