LW 5 doesn't show the checkmark icon - shows a book icon instead

If you're using Classic view




If you're using List view (check at the bottom of search results... this file showed at the bottom of my search results when in List view)

I have noticed that, but also noticing that it will only mark files that I have DL'ed since the install of v5...

The other 6000 songs in my collection seem to be ignored...

Sorry - guess I didn't read your OP properly

Songs downloaded with LW 4 don't show as previously downloaded for me. And whereas a search would once show a checkmark beside a file which you'd added for sharing & that someone else had downloaded (eg a file ripped & added to the shared folder), that doesn't show in LW 5 either.
