The broken list syntax was hidden by the broken relative to absolute<br>
path resolution that was broken at the same time... Anyways, I do<br>
agree that the old list format is not the best... It should be<br>
possible to instead change the list format to use a true json format<br>
similar to how test results are stored... An example of this would be<br>
as follows:<br>
<br>
{<br>
'path-to-result-1-directory': {},<br>
'path-to-result-2/main': null,<br>
'path-to-result-3-path': { 'name': 'This is the Corrected Name' },<br>
'path-to-result-4/main': { 'name': 'Yet another Corrected Name' }<br>
}<br>
