E17 Enlightenment File Manager warning [CONFIRMED]

E17 EFM built in the last week or so is now destroying, losing, or re-casing files (Upper to lower case. Very lame for PKGBUILD files!). This is happening with both pressd's builds in community, as well as my own builds that are from modified takhis scripts on both x86_64 and i686. This behavior is new. I'll file a bug report with Enlightenment.

I'm not quite sure if I fully understand what is happening on your machine. Could you elaborate a bit and tell me how I should be able to reproduce it. I haven't noticed any weirdness with EFM.
[edit]
I assume you did also verify your problem with the default theme and a new ~/.e ?
I'll file a bug report with Enlightenment.
Can you post a link here when you've done so?
http://bugzilla.enlightenment.org/show_bug.cgi?id=372
That will clarify things a bit. My new install (un-themed) was brand new (community packages). My desktop (themed) which isn't using the stuff from the repos was exhibiting the exact same behavior. Two different builds on two different architectures with the exact same problem, and only with EFM. Thunar is fine on both machines.

Enlightenment File Manage Spawns at Start

Whenever I login to my Enlightenment DR17 desktop, I either get one of the two...
- Three dialog boxes saying the Enlightenment FileManager has failed to start. However, without reloading the plugin, it still works when I open a folder.
- Three Enlightenment FileManager windows come up: "/", "/boot", "/root" (each one of these folders is a seperate partition).
How can I fix this?
PS: Please don't run this topic off topic, and tell me not to use the root account. I know what risks there is, but Linux is about free choice, and it's my damn choice if I want to run my Linux with the root account.

Check your prefs for the file manager and, if you have it, the places module. For at least one of them, there's an option to mount on insert, which caused this to happen to me once.

E17 File Manager

Well, I finally installed e17 (never bothered to get e16 to work), and OMG IT IS WICKED SWEET. Anyway, there's supposed to be an icon in the "start menu" labeled files to run the enlightenment file manager. As this is my main use for a gui, I was wondering why it doesn't appear. Is it not set up, or not packaged?

There was link called "Test Filemanager" or something very close to that. It was recently removed however.
The efm has been removed from the e17 main menu. You can still start it with enlightenment_remote -start-efm /, but be aware that it's disabled because it isn't currently working!

Access E17 File Manager as root

Hi Everyone,
I'm having trouble in finding out which command line to use to access the root part of the E17 file manager - I've tried gksu enlightenment but that didn't work could anybody help if possible.

I think i remember a quote by rasterman himself that in order to access EFM as root enlightenment has to run as root since the FM is integrated in it. Or something along these lines. I might be wrong so better wait people knowing E17 better than me.

Firefox now keeps my tabs when I close the browser if file manager is still open. Can I turn this off?

Used to be if I closed the browser while file manager was open it would close that session, and when I opened Firefox again, it would have a brand new session with the home page. Now I just get the same session as if I had only minimized the browser instead of closing it. Is there a way to change that?

You can set the pref browser.download.manager.quitBehavior to 2 on the about:config page. 
That will make Firefox ask for confirmation if you want to cancel the download if you close Firefox.
See:
* http://kb.mozillazine.org/browser.download.manager.quitBehavior
To open the about:config page, type about:config in the location (address) bar and press the "Enter" key, just like you type the url of a website to open a website. 
If you see a warning then you can confirm that you want to access that page.

Final Cut Pro X File Management Issues

I have several issues
1. Does anyone know if it is possible to import from camera to the standard Mac file system? I can't see a way to avoid importing media in the FCP library and I definitely DON"T want any of my media files in the FCP library.
2. Also I know I can copy the media files out of FCP back into the file system but I am not sure how to delete the FCP copy and re-point everything to the media I have stored in a proper file structure on a specific media disk.
3. It doesn't seem to be possible to have FCP default new libraries to a media drive - it only wants to create them on the boot drive and the library has to be moved manually. Am I missing something?
4. Backup is an issue now - it looks like a change to any component within a library will trigger a backup of the whole library - it certainly does with the backup software I am using, and who knows what Time Machine does with FCP libraries... (but Time Machine DOES appear to delete files without notice when it runs out of space, so it is not suitable for any environment where permanent data retention is an issue - so beware...)
ps: don't EVER use the "move to library" function. If it crashes you won't get a reason, you can't undo or recover, and the originals may be deleted even though the media never made it to the other library. This is not good...

Hi Tom: It was "Move Event to Library" that crashed, deleting the media from the originating library but not copying it to the new library.
I lot of my issues are down to lack of familiarity with the new interface after migrating from the old Final Cut; manuals which are incomplete or in error; courseware created in earlier versions of Pro X and which have not been updated, and what I regard as counter-intuituive defaults and assumptions by the Apple development team. I spend a lot of time searching for answers: For instance I spent at least an hour searching in the manual and on the net for a way to extract or move the media from an FCP library. I came up with nothing. It would never have occurred to me to search for the term "consolidate".
Another thing that caused me an issue was that I copied a library from one drive to the other to create a backup before I started trying to regularise the media locations in the original library. I changed the name of the backed up library in file manager. When I open it, FCP still uses the old name - hence a library which is opened on one disk and appears to point to data on another. In fact I hadn't noticed that there were two libraries of the same name open at the same time in FCP - the apparently duplicated library was in fact the backup library on the other disk which was renamed in file manager but not in FCP.
In iTunes and Aperture, which both use this bundled library approach, you can only open one library at a time. FCP is different - and I have no problem with this, but any user familiar with the other products would assume, as I did, that FCP worked the same way. That it does not gives rise to the possibility of confusion.
FCP is a very complex piece of software. That means it is impossible to make it easy for a first timer to understand - an experienced Final Cut user has to unlearn as much as he or she has to learn - and all this places much greater reliance on the manuals. The writers of the manuals need to try and put themselves in the heads of their users and make sure that their TOC, Index and terminology corresponds to the thinking of the user - not the new terms they have created for the new version (e.g.: "consolidate media" - which means extract media from the library and move it into the file system, but who would know?)
In an environment where the file sizes are enormous; a library may contain several hundred clips and audio tracks organised in various events and projects; FCP can crash and "disappear" media; the manual is hard to search and the software behaves in an unexpected manner (library names in FCP do not necessarily correspond to the actual name of the library on disk and multiple copies of a library can all be open at the same time, with the same name) this all creates a great deal of stress. One mistake and a great deal of work can be lost irretrievably.
However, with your advice, I have consolidated the media files from my largest library and confirmed that the library holds only the metadata now. However, the new file organisation is unusable, so I will now need to change the file names and reorganise them into subfolders that make sense to me - I guess I will find out if this breaks FCP's links. At the same time I have to figure out which files in the original file structure correspond to the newly extracted files so that I only have a single set.
My big mistake was to copy the files into the library in the first place. This is the default, and also recommended on the Lynda courseware (which was created on an earlier version of FCP). Since most of my existing files were imported in the old version of FCP prior to the upgrade (so already on disk), this meant creating duplicates of all files initially. However, all the newer files are only in the libraries and not in the file system - reconciling this now is tricky. Since I retrieve SD cards on my notebook in the field and then copy to my Mac Pro, some of the new files have ended up in the file system and not in the library. I am yet to find out whether FCP will automatically pick up new files added directly to the file system, or whether they have to be "imported" through FCP before FCP can see them.
The overhead of all this duplication is enormous and the inconsistencies tricky, and it is only now that I understand better how FCP Pro X works (and that it can lose stuff) that I now realise I have to undo all of this and move the media back into file manager and out of the libraries.
If you have to transition to a new, and radically different, version in the middle of a project you really need to understand all the implications. I did not. And now that I do, it is difficult, stressful and time consuming to sort out.
If I were able to go back and give myself some advice it would be to ignore the defaults, create logical and sensible file structures for all your media, keep all media out of the libraries and use the file structure to force FCP to organise your clips in a logical manner so that you don't then have to go through and laboriously assign keywords to organise them in FCP.
I don't know if the way I work is very different to other film-makers. This is a doco - typically around 5% of what is shot will make it into the final program, and I double that because I use three cameras a lot of the time. That's about 40 hours of HD plus WAV audio files. Some of the clips are an hour in length and impossible to synch between the cameras until they are chopped up and new combined clips created - this is very laborious! An hour of HDD is about 400GB (more if I shoot raw) - so there will be about 2TB of data associated with this doco by the time I finish shooting. In an interview I record a separate audio track - and I generally use this as the master track since it is the only clip which can be guaranteed to run for the full duration. But FCP Pro X assumes that the master track will be a video file and it is not possible to add an audio file to the timeline first. I found a workaround - but, again, I am fighting FCP and the developer's preconceived ideas about how people might use this software.
Apart from the doco itself various other projects use the same media - but I don't want these projects cluttering up the doco library which is already cluttered enough. If the media is in the library I have to copy clips to other libraries for these other projects, leading to more duplication. Its another reason to move the media out of the library and another indication that FCP was not really designed for large projects.
Even just within a single library, file management is unsuited to the volume of files I use. For reasons known only to themselves, the FCP developers have used a very specific view of the file organisation - and its not the view I use in file manager (which is the column view). That makes using the file management in FCP very cumbersome - but its essential if you have a large number of clips. My smallest library takes 30 minutes to copy from one Thunderbolt2 disk to another, so creating a backup before changing things in a library is not a trivial event.
Also, the keyword process is clumsy and, I think, poorly conceived but it is the only way to organise clips if you haven't created a file structure prior to import. I haven't yet figured out how to erase the keywords I used for one event so that I can reassign the keywords for use in another event. But I assume that means that if I go back to the first event, I will have to put all the keywords back in - or ignore the shortcut keys and type them manually (which is necessary for much of the time anyway because there are only 9 - a good indication of the size of the projects for which this software was designed). Also, oddly, there is no shortcut key that I can find for turning on/off the keyword window - which is annoying because it takes up a lot of screen real estate). It is issues like this that leave the impression that FCP has been conceived as a kind of iMovie + and that it just isn't architected for real-world proper film making. It can be bent to that, and it has some nice features, but I find myself fighting it a lot of the time.
After all of this I can't find a reason why Apple would create library "files" anyway. What advantage does this provide over the standard file system? What are the implications for backups? (If you are backing up incrementally only the components within a library then how can you be sure any version of the actual library file is current? And if not, then is any minor change to any file in the library going to trigger a full backup of everything - (in this case 1TB+)? And how does this differ between various backup options? Again, assuming FCP users are mostly making home movies, with small file sizes and using Time Machine then a library concept might make sense. But that is iMovie thinking. And that Apple have implemented a "move to library" function without any transactional integrity (no deletions should be made until the successful copy is confirmed) further underpins the non-professional positioning of this product.
I hope it improves with age...
But thanks again for your help - it was timely and very much appreciated.

[SOLVED] PCManFM file manager not working for me

Hi, i'm having some troubles with PCManFM. Every time i want to open the file manager it just doesn't do anything, no errors and no feedback if i run it from a console. If i create a folder on my desktop and double click on it, file manager will pop up and i'm able to use it as it were no problems, but still when i close that window it won't open otherwise than clicking on the folder on the desktop. Any ideas?. It's a clean install, followed the wiki for lxde and i've been using linux for 10 years now, tried to figure it out but i couldn't. It's not my first time with arch but i took a break for the last 6 months, thanks in advance.
ibfm 0.1.14-2 (lxde)
pcmanfm 0.9.8-2 (lxde)
cat /etc/rc.conf | grep DAEMONS
# DAEMONS
DAEMONS=(syslog-ng dbus hal !network networkmanager dnsmasqd !netfs crond alsa)
cat .xinitrc | grep exec
exec ck-launch-session startlxde
As i said before, there are no error messages.
Update:
I've just found a lead (l think), if i kill pcmanfm process and rerun it the file manager works fine, the way it should, but desktop won't get managed.

Yosemite is awful- unable to empty trash, volume options are haywire, error codes on file management, and files won't replace when moved. What are my options at this point?

Like the topic - "Yosemite is awful- unable to empty trash, volume options are haywire, error codes on file management, and files won't replace when moved. What are my options at this point?"
I installed this OS, and it looks nice, but it's terrible to use. I randomly have the volume controls get disabled, and sometimes the volume menu in the system tray does nothing when adjusted which I've never seen in an OS before. The trash won't empty. When I try to drag and drop newer files over existing ones, nothing happens. The old ones just stay there. I have to delete the old ones and then move the new ones. And when I go into the protected files to manage audio plugins (I make music), the first thing I hit are error codes galore, and password prompts that either don't popup when they should, or don't execute the command after I provide my password.
What can I do now that I installed the flames of **** onto my computer?

Back up all data before proceeding.
This procedure will unlock all your user files (not system files) and reset their ownership, permissions, and access controls to the default. If you've intentionally set special values for those attributes on any of your files, they will be reverted. In that case, either stop here, or be prepared to recreate the settings if necessary. Do so only after verifying that those settings didn't cause the problem. If none of this is meaningful to you, you don't need to worry about it, but you do need to follow the instructions below.
Step 1
If you have more than one user, and the one in question is not an administrator, then go to Step 2.
Triple-click anywhere in the following line on this page to select it:
sudo find ~ $TMPDIR.. -exec chflags -h nouchg,nouappnd,noschg,nosappnd {} + -exec chown -h $UID {} + -exec chmod +rw {} + -exec chmod -h -N {} + -type d -exec chmod -h +x {} + 2>&-
Copy the selected text to the Clipboard by pressing the key combination command-C.
Launch the built-in Terminal application in any of the following ways:
☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
☞ Open LaunchPad. Click Utilities, then Terminal in the icon grid.
Paste into the Terminal window by pressing command-V. I've tested these instructions only with the Safari web browser. If you use another browser, you may have to press the return key after pasting.
You'll be prompted for your login password, which won't be displayed when you type it. Type carefully and then press return. You may get a one-time warning to be careful. If you don’t have a login password, you’ll need to set one before you can run the command. If you see a message that your username "is not in the sudoers file," then you're not logged in as an administrator.
The command may take several minutes to run, depending on how many files you have. Wait for a new line ending in a dollar sign ($) to appear, then quit Terminal.
Step 2 (optional)
Take this step only if you have trouble with Step 1, if you prefer not to take it, or if it doesn't solve the problem.
Start up in Recovery mode. When the OS X Utilities screen appears, select
Utilities ▹ Terminal
from the menu bar. A Terminal window will open. In that window, type this:
resetp
Press the tab key. The partial command you typed will automatically be completed to this:
resetpassword
Press return. A Reset Password window will open. You’re not going to reset a password.
Select your startup volume ("Macintosh HD," unless you gave it a different name) if not already selected.
Select your username from the menu labeled Select the user account if not already selected.
Under Reset Home Directory Permissions and ACLs, click the Reset button.
Select
 ▹ Restart
from the menu bar.

Tfman - text file manager, much different then others

Tfman - text file manager.
Performs operations on files through textual representation of file system.
Textual representation is in the form of plain text, editable with any text
editor and may contain multiple operations of every kind. Tfman can be
used from command-line or from within Vim as multi-window file manager.
It can be combined with tools like Sed or Awk.
. written in C fo Unix-like operating systems
. no dependencies (except gcc/clang and GNU Make for building)
Features in short:
- scan filesystem to create its textual representation
- parse textual representation and perform retrieved operations
- use favorite text editing tool to edit textual representation
- scan, edit and parse in one step
- use Tfman from command-line or from within Vim as multi-window file manager
- integration with other decent text editors should be easy
- available: brace expansion, globbing, entries grouping, whole directory operations and more
Project's homepage:
https://chiselapp.com/user/machel/repository/tfman/home
Installation procedure (AUR or sources tarball) - see Project's homepage
Documentation, sources, report issue - see Project's homepage
Warning:
Tfman is in an early state, it didn't receive sufficient testing yet. Please
be carefull when manipulating sensitive data with it.
Note:
I do not know any file manager that manipulates file system in similar way.
Therefore usefulness of this kind of approach is not proven.
Help me prove it.
Screenshots:
Screenshot1
New version pushed to AUR:
- changing entry ownership and permissions now associated under one action tag
- few other action tags changed
- Quick Start Guide now available, see Project's homepage
- bug fixes

Well, for start: Is there really a reason to use different character for directory and its subdirectories? As far as I can tell, you could just use '%' for all directories and decide what is top-level directory and what is subdirectory based on the indentation. Also, it would be nice to reserve '#' for comments, as it is common in many languages.
machel wrote:2) Use action tags to specify operations. They apply to single entries, groups of entries or whole directories
Here the complexity begins. There is 13 operations, if I counted it correctly in the man page. To be fair, some of them are just adding '*' enforce overwrites. Fine, that leaves us with about 9 operations to learn. I could probably do that But it would be better if it was less... Would it be possible to simplify operations that don't affect file location by allowing user to simply change the value in the text representation? It would probably require some kind of header (or some clever trickery), because the order of columns is not fixed, but it might be worth the trouble. You could also extend this to changing file times and perhaps other properties (those from '-F proper'). The linking and moving operators look good, with little exception of '))' - that just looks odd to me But that is definitely my personal taste... I'd prefer something like single '>'.
machel wrote:3) Entry names and action operands - I believe using them is quite intuitive:
Name relative to directory/subdirectory above:
'name'
If you want absolute name:
'/name'
If you want name relative to current working directory (where Tfman was invoked):
'./name'
No problem with this, I like that.
machel wrote:
dolik.rce wrote:ability to execute commands on the files/directories
What do you mean? Shell commands?
Shell commands would be best, but generally just ability to execute command with given file/directory as input or parameter. Example usage would be something like this:
# Dir
file1 ^ sed -i -e 'some sed script here' becomes: sed -i -e 'some sed script here' < file1
file2 ^% touch % becomes: touch file2
The syntax is just an example, but in this case ^ would feed the file into the standard input of the command, and '^%' would replace '%' in commandline with the actual file name. For globing, command gets executed for each matching file.
machel wrote:
dolik.rce wrote:execute some actions conditionally
Interesting idea. I must think about it.
Tfman already have tags to stop parsing file, stop parsing line and goto next,
disable whole dir/group or single entry, exclude entry from under directory/group,
perform action on previous action's target, ignore errors.
But it works unconditionally.
I can imagine wanting to do something based on the properties of file or even based on output of external command. E.g. 'move file only if it's older then N days', or 'ask remote server if it has file X, move the file to directory upload/ when the command returns non-zero exit status'
machel wrote:--- Tfm ---
Remember about 'tfm' utility which is simple Tfman wrapper scanning given directory,
opening it in editor defined in EDITOR shell variable (Vim is default) and parsing
result after you save and quit.
It just compress 3 steps into 1.
This is definitely handy, and probably only reasonable way to use tfman interactively. However, I'm not a vim-person - as I already said I'm lazy to remember anything, so you can imagine that learning enough vim commands to use it effectively would be a nightmare for me The same goes for tfmvi, I'm just not the target audience for that. But my EDITOR variable is usually set to nano, so I could easily use it with that, probably just with slightly more typing.

File manager missing in Ovi suite

I just bought E7-00 after my E90 and I was really surprised that file manager was missing in Ovi suite. This means I cannot transfer single files between PC and mobile phone. Difficult to use backup copies are not enough. Fortunately file manager still exists in old familiar PC suite, which works with E7-00 in spite of that Nokia says it is not meant for this device. I consider it stupid that I have to jump between two suites. It takes much time in vain. I wait that the next version of Ovi suite works better. Please, don't say that file manager is not needed!

Website not displaying what i uploaded through File Manager on hosting service.

I use a non-Adobe hosting service. I uploaded the files using this company's file manager. The text and images do not stay where I put them on the page. It looks fine in preview mode and at http://testtheshroudorg.businesscatalyst.com/the-shroud.html, but not on www.testtheshroud.org. After uploading the page, the text gets on top of each other and garbled when I display them. I'm using a Windows Vista PC
I saw a similar post from August that says I should delete the file off the server and then upload again. This did not fix it. How do I fix this?

Hi,
Kindly confirm if you were able to resolve the issue, the site "www.testtheshroud.org" appears to be fine.

No harm in dragging themes and icons into the relevant folders for systemwide access.
In fact I've changed the permissions of /usr/share/themes and /usr/share/icons to allow my user write access to save myself having to open a filemanager with root access when I want to add a new theme or icon set.

Pyfmii - nine panel wmii/mc-like file manager

pyfmii - git repository
AUR: http://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?ID=25148
Git Source: git clone git://github.com/Procyon2/pyfmii.git
A file manager with nine panels with the looks of wmii and behavior of mc
Dependencies: python
Screenshots:
Features:
- Nine panels
- Colorize by extension
- Command box that runs everything in a shell
- Tab-completion in command box
- While command box is up browse around and add items with alt+enter
- Command box pops up as soon as you start typing
- Customizable with ini-like rc file: ~/.pyfmiirc
- Multi session history (alt+p, alt+n): ~/.pyfmii_history
Usage:
./pyfmii -h
./pyfmii [ACTIVEPAD [OPENPADS]] [DIRECTORIES]
Default: ./pyfmii 1 . ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~
e.g.: ./pyfmii 2 1 9 /usr/bin ~/bin
will have panels 1 2 9 open with 2 active and 1 = /usr/bin, 2 = ~/bin, 3 = ~, 4 = ~ etc
Keybindings are on the git site
Bugs:
Recently/probably fixed bug:
- Restoring keypad mode in command win after resizing
- Files with macros work
- Opening vim in pyfmii and resizing gives an EINTR that will now be ignored.
- Resizing to a really small window caused a crash/infinite loop
Different behavior/features that I won't change:
- if with tab-completion you have a full match and there are more matches it will behave as if there was just a full match
- e.g.: dirs: "aa, aab" type: "aa<TAB>" -> "aa/"
- F2 advanced menu is not context sensitive like mc's
- you can't browse search results from '/'
- no bookmarks, ^\ will quit python actually
- F2-@ doesn't put the cursor at the start, F7/mkdir doesn't add a space so you can't begin typing right away
- mark all items marks directories too
- cd'ing to symlinks is like cd'ing to the actual file, unlike in bash/mc. I don't think this can be fixed in python

I just realized that alt+1-9 is commonly used in WMs, am I right? And the same for Alt+F1-F9
CTRL+1-9 doesn't seem possible because CTRL+1 = 1 and CTRL+4=^\ which, as I said before, immediately quits python.
CTRL+F1-F9 is possible. I had previously bound ^F5-^F8 to a no-confirm version.
Shift+F1-F9 is also possible
EDIT:
There is a mismatch:
Xterm Shift+F1 = F13
URxvt Shift+F1 = F11
/EDIT
EDIT: that leaves CTRL+F1-F9. I will remove all no-confirm keys. I have also put the command of F5-F8 in the configuration file so having two versions is not necessary (this will be in the next git push)
BTW Alt+1-9 (and now CTRL+F1-9) is used for setting the selected dir in the panel of the number (or cwd if a file), and it is also used in the command box to change panels (like regular 1-9) (after all you want "1-9" and "!-(" for commands)
And I noticed that the unicode space does not just not work on VC but also any non-unicode term like aterm. A normal space does work in all except in screen where it will cut off. If you go to the next window and back the bar restores, but any movement will cut it off again. Maybe there's a setting in screen that can control it. For now I removed all hardcoded unicode.
EDIT:
Screen behaves differently with "bce on" and "bce off",
off -> the long selector line is not drawn at all
on -> the long selector line is only drawn after refresh, and disappears when changing selection
/EDIT
aterm also seems to not work with curs_set(2) but it does with 1 and that is the same for everything (maybe not VC, haven't tried).
EDIT:
Config changed
If you made no changes you can remove it to let pyfmii autogenerate one, or add the following to ~/.pyfmiirc:
[basic]
#F5
copy = :cp -R -v -i -- %t %D
#F6
move = :mv -v -i -- %u %D
#F7
mkdir = :mkdir -p -v
#F8
remove = :rm -R -v -I -- %u
EDIT:
Besides Ctrl-F1-F9, I have also made F1-F9 have the same behavior in the command box.

Metacity crashes - Window manager warning: Received a _NET_WM_MOVERES

Hello!
I need help. I tried to install xmonad, but instead of this metacity has crashed and it doesn't executes on the startup. I can execute it manually and it works, but I get such an error:
Window manager warning: Failed to read saved session file /home/zayac/.config/metacity/sessions/10b6d74b675d6fdde8126124551975668900000060560000.ms:
Failed to open file '/home/zayac/.config/metacity/sessions/10b6d74b675d6fdde8126124551975668900000060560000.ms': No such file or directory
How can I avoid this dependency as there are no /home/zayac/.config/metacity/ directory. In addition I need it to execute on startup.
Thanks in advance.

Everything seems to work properly, but if they work properly then we shouldn't be seeing messages telling us something isn't working correct should we...
So something is up and no matter what it is, even if it's a simple bug reporting an incorrect error, I'd like to fix if it I can, unless this might be at the code level and needs a patch, meaning this isn't going to be fixed until an update...
I appreciate your reply, but you telling me to ignore this means what? That you understand what is going on and why this is happening and that there is nothing I can do to fix it?
THANKS
