Of course it is self managing. But some programs seem to not be able to
use it correctly. So even does Thing! 1.29. It always reports the recent
size of already stored files, but not a single byte more, at last here at
my computer.

So perhaps it is a FireBee issue, or just some dirty programs? But I would
need a solution for real day to day work.

What can be done?
