Thanks for the tool – I appreciate it. My one suggestion and I did not see how to do it – was I was hoping to be able to organize my photos when I am away. It would be nice to be able to open the .jpg file. Thanks again

Great that you find it useful. I’m working on the next release which probably will be out this summer.

I am a new WHS user. I just setup my network and thought this add-in would be very useful since I am a very organized IT person.

Thanks!!

Problem was solved via email. Required all WHS updates and .NET Framework updates via Windows Update.

Hi – I have a strange happening – I have reinstalled my server and included your 1.1.1.0 add-in. Previously it had worked fine but this time the area where the drive selection is shows as white with no icon unless I mouse hover over them?
Is this something you have seen before? I am wondering if an uninstall and reinstall could help?
I say it is strange because my previous WHS installation the plugin worked fine with this same hardware but it may have been a different plugin version.

Hi Mark

I have seen this myself. Problem is that I’m using Window’s built-in file copy functions and I cannot find any option to force a “always on top” or to confine it within the tab.

I’m considering either writing my own file copy logic (quite simple) or using something like robocopy that offers pause and even a queuing system.

I’ll add this to my list of TODO’s for the next version. Thanks for the feedback.

Started using your file manager last night, and I’m very happy with it… If I could offer a suggested improvement…

If the user is running this through the console, and clicks the console while a file operation is running, they lose the transfer progress box. (IE it’s no longer in focus, as the console is now on top)

When you run through Remote Desktop this isn’t an issue as you can just alt+tab to see the progress box, but there is no way to do this in a console window.

So my suggestion would be to either embed the file operation progress within the tab, so it will never lose focus. Or provide the option(or force the option) to always have the file operation progress box on top. Otherwise there really isn’t anyway to tell when the operation has completed, unless you keep clicking on refresh.
