ack, I'm subscribed to this list through one email address, but posted
the original message from another address; when it bounced back, i
copied the message body, but not the attachments. try again!

fixed. Made the default behavior to honor all old annotations and
apply them whenever a path-based alternate reference is not available.

fixed. (that was a particularly dumb bug -- of course people might
want to make a sheet that does not have a schematic file yet!)

ahh, that's too much work. I need to work on other things ;)
It is not that hard to add the junction items, and i guess it makes
the schematic more clear.
