   In response to issue #7452. Still leaves an error message for the missing file in the logs though.

   My first PR, so be nice please :)

   Sorry if I’ve messed this up with the 2nd commit, jumped the gun a little…

   Welcome @kirkalx

   The number of commits doesn’t matter; better too many than too few, you can always use git rebase -i and force-push to squash commits together, if that results in clearer or more atomic changes. Separating them out is a bit more tricky.

   Looks good to me. utACK.

   Thanks Wladimir. I’ll stop making changes now as I obviously need to learn a bit about GitHub.

   Before merging, can you please squash these changes into one commit? e.g.

   0$ git rebase -i 196ad69
   

   In the editor, replace the bottom three ‘pick’ with ‘f’, then save and exit. Then, force-push the result to this branch with

   0git push -f origin master

   Thanks for the help with that Wladimir, seems to have worked. I’ll try to come back next week and get rid of the error messages in the logs as well.
