Finally to let you know that all of the Picto-DACS identifiers seem to have changed -- the old identifiers no longer resolve to the names they used to. Presumably it may be possible to update to a new scrape of the database, and carry forward existing matched names; but I don't know enough about the database to know how stable (or stable for how long) these new identifiers are likely to be, or whether this is something that may have to be monitored on a regular basis.

I can try, but then I will have to remove all matchings that were done, as they are no more reliable.
If the catalog keeps doing this, it will be too unstable to warrant a place in mix'n'match at all.
The name strings may be the same (I think they are), even if identifier number has changed.
So it may be possible to update the matchings that were done to their new identifiers.
But I agree, if these changes go on, the catalogue will be of limited use.
