I had my most sophisticated end user look at VS again. She looked at the
datasources column. She furrowed her brow when she learned that there
were no data files but Valentina files 1.x was present in the column. 
It made
no sense to her.

Please explain again why Valentina files 1.x _has_ to be present in the
datasources column when there are no local files. I don’t get it and 
neither
do my end users. It makes more sense to me for something like
“Valentina local files 1.x” to be present _after_ a later data file is 
created.
