Use "Add Items" if you want to add single image files to be shared through the server. Use "Add New Root Directory" if you want a complete folder to be added to your server. you can choose to add the files inside this folder only or also the files inside the internal folders by checking the "Scan Recursively" checkbox. Use "Delete Selected" to remove the selected files/folders from the shared items. And finally you can hide this mediaserver window (without closing the actual server) using the "Hide Window" button. If you want to close the window AND the server, press the ordinary cross to the top-right of the window.
