Problem: Files that do not have an extension (for example, hosts file, some Java app files) are not captured by the Prism Editor when taking a picture or finding changes.

Resolution: Make a correction in the rules.ini file on the system where the Prism Editor is installed (wherever you create packages). A section of the Ignored Files section is incorrectly duplicated, and one of the entries is missing a period. Copy the CORRECT entry below, and use it to replace the INCORRECT entry in your rules.ini file.

You must close and reopen the Editor after making the change to rules.ini in order for the change to be recognized.  This issue will be corrected in the next release of Prism Suite, Prism Deploy and Prism Packager.
