* EleBBS Support List

Shouldn't #1 be fixed instead of working around it?  And it does happen with
as few as 10-20 files being moved to a different location in the same area
using elemgr.  Elefile adopt isn't a useful option as my files need to be
sorted manually.  I have videos encoded by different groups, so the prefix
for each group is different.  Even if the rest of the file naming convention
is consistent, I still have to manually sort to get the episodes in
numerical order.

On #2, I'm glad.  I just downloaded it and will be attempting to test it
later on.

On #3, is sexyz handling long file names with spaces successfully?  I had
read that it wasn't and that's about every file for me.

Try not moving large amounts of files at the same time... try and limit
it to maybe 10-20 this helps... Maybe increase the number you move and
see what happens... if previous moves are working well... Same with
adding large amounts of file If you need to add large amounts of files
elefile adopt would be the better option...

Keyword searches has been fixed it wasn't showing filenames with lower
or mixed casing... the filename search has been increased so
longfilenames can be searched for...

Sexyz works very well...  A number of us are running it successfully...

Download this package from my website it fixes a lot of file related
issues and even has fixed the FTP server and also added resume download
support... FTP server is the BEST method of transfering items...
