Folder not showing

[silverbird]

Hi,
I just put a folder in my shared folder and then looked
in the library etc on fw and its not showing in there

There are 3 open office files inside

come to think of it too, Ive got one or two Posh songs in my shared folder
just did a posh search and they ain t showing !

Hi,

I'm not entirely sure what you mean has happened to the folder, as for the songs, if you're searching for you own songs, that you're sharing, it's more then likely you can't see them in a search.

Also, here's a tip, as long as the number increases of 'shared files' on frostwire, then you're sharing it.

OK SO my own files wont show up in a search.... I kindof suspected that

but getting back to the first point.... the documents folder that I put into my shared folder
it has 3 open office files inside ............ its not showing in my library on fw.

I tried putting the folder into winzip............. still did nt show.

I took the open office files out of the folder and put them in as stand alone files..... still did nt show.

does fw only handle a few basic formats.... ? jpeg, mpeg mp3 etc and it wont pick
up a folder, winzip, or open office ...............

Well, it might not handle the folder inside your sharing folder, but it should handle a .zip folder easily.

Unless changes have been implemented since I was away :s Anyways it isn't a requirement to share them three files, is it?

[silverbird]

you d think the zip file would show up in my shared folder on fw
Ive seen zip files in searches on fw.

but this is all a bit academic at the moment as I click on the fw icon on my desk top
the eye comes up inside the window, but nothing else
looks like Im stuffed

AMAZING what a reboot will do

everythings showing up now..... the folder, the zip file, the open office files
even with their little logo symbols !
it seems that anything thats in that shared folder is up for grabs and being shared
with the world.

I must assume that .... hits.... is the No. of times that my stuff has been downloaded by someone.

hi silverbird,

glad its all come together for you.

i answered hits in your other post.

didnt you understand it? or, did you forget?

[silverbird]

well you said that the monitor section will show the uploads of my stuff ( or downloads )

but in there its completely blank

if thats the case what do the " hits " mean ?

poor silverbird,

you are suffering from what is commonly known as 'frostwire induced sleep deprivation', dont panic, go back to the other post and look at the 2nd picture in the 1st reply you should see library tab. i know everythings just getting blurry, i know its hard to believe, but your getting addicted, just move away from the computer, grab a coffee, go outside, drink your coffee, come back and start again.
hey, we've all been there. i promise, FW will still be here when you get back. if you've been on FW for more than two days without sleep, have a shower and two coffees.

it will all just click together soon.
