Installed it. Got two identical panes, no middle bar, no instructions! What next?

My WHS File Manager Add-In has gotten yet another public update and is now at v1.0.1.0.

New features:
- Support for removable storage (CD, DVD or USB disks that are not part of the storage pool)
- Support for opening files directly via the Home Server Console (files are opened on your local computer and not the server)
- Lots of bug fixes

I am now asking for feedback from the users about what further functions you would like to see in future versions.

That’s the problem! I do almost everything from a RDC and very rarely use the WHS connector. It does work here also if I use the Connector.

@Jim Clark - I managed to make it hang if I clicked the help button when the WHS console was running on the server inside remote desktop. But if I run the console on a client computer it works. Strange, but I'll look into it. Thanks for letting me know.

@PÃ¥l – The file is there. I can access it directly. I had IE8 installed for a bit and then uninstalled it due to some other WHS issues. So back on IE7, but who knows what kind of remnants of IE8 still remain…

I also restarted my WHS machine, just to elminate a potential question. In the end, I still have the same problem. Of course, with what I do with my WHS (installing/uninstalling so many add-ins), I am not surprised things like this happen to me.

@Jim Clark - Hm, it supposed to open a html file with the help page on. Could you do me a favor and check for the existance of 'WHSFileManager.mht' in C:\Program Files\Windows Home Server on your server? That's the file that is executed and it normally opens in IE. Also, what version of IE do you have on your server? I have only tested with IE 7.

@PÃ¥l – Very nice update! Downloaded, installed, and it is like night and day.

One little problem, tho. The help icon does not work and it kills the console.
