How to add shared files to library?
 

I have just installed Phex.
Proxy, firewall etc. everything works OK and I can connect/download except I do not understand how to add shared files to the library, "Add folder" and "Rescan" do not have any effect...
Thanks

P.S.
Congratulations to the developers

What OS are you using?

sorry, Windows XP

i use windows 2000 and same thing over here can't really do nothing to add a shared folder and i tried everything

it could be for the following reason
- i installed it under user rights (not administrators)

please help i have the latest java and i ran it under the admin rights but didn't add the folder either - no reaction

thank you

Ok...

please tell me how far do you get.

1) you select the Library tab
2) on the left pane you press 'Add folder'
3) a dialog 'Select directory to share' pops up
4) you browse through your hard drive and select a folder with not many files and no sub directories (for testing).
5) You press the 'Select' button of the pop-up dialog.
6) The dialog closes.
7) After waiting a couple of seconds, depends how large the folder is the folder appears on the left pane of the Library tab

Also please check if you have a phex.error.log file in the 'phex' directory in your user home directory.

no when you press "add folder" it doesn't do nothing just like a 'dummy' button - there has to be a problem with the pointer somewhere in the code i'm assuming - it seems as it's pointing to null

Thanks for your help!

Its fixed in the next release. You can expect it to be available soon.

Same with me, when I press Add folder nothing at all happens.
Thanks for the help, I am going to wait for the next release.

The release with the fix is available from http://www.sf.net/projects/phex

Or during the day tomorow from the Phex Homepage.
