Assuming that's "Local File", then yes they should show up in the table as well. What happens if you create a new document, add a new (empty) pub and then drop a file into that pub's file pane (editor window)? If you save that document and close/reopen it, does the file still show up? >>> Our home directories are mounted from a remote (Linux) server (and >>> with /home as the local mount point; I mention this because this has >>> caused trouble in other fields as well under Tiger and ought to work >>> much better under leopard).

Ewww, automount. Last I worked with that was on Linux, and I had to set up NIS at the same time; I never tried adding non-Linux systems into the mix, though. Are you using NIS as well? (not that it should matter...) I generally used netatalk or samba to share from Linux/FreeBSD to OS X. >You understood me correctly, but I described it a bit wrong: the >symlink goes to > >nfs:/home/ourgroupfolder/papers > >which (I think) is on the same partition, not a different one. I am >not sure, though. The partition shouldn't matter (I hope), just that the symlink is on the NFS mount and pointing somewhere else on the NFS mount. Some of the File Manager functionality is probably emulated on NFS, so it may behave differently than we expect. -- adam ------------------------------------------------------------------------- This SF.net email is sponsored by: Microsoft Defy all challenges.
