HFS 2.3 beta (212) issues

[budro]

Ok, before I started testing the 2.3 beta, HFS would hide folders from everyone except those who had permissions to access them. Now, it shows them, but just denies access to them. That's not what I want. I want them to be hidden to everyone except those with access. How can I do that?

the option you are seeking is
menu -> virtual file system -> list protected items only for allowed users

is that enabled ?

1.  I think hiding folders (with hidden attribute) from users works only when folder is set as "real folder", it dont work for "virtual folders" , also that option "List protected items only for allowed users" dont work for me, or I am not sure what this option is for.

2.  I have problem with setting up more than one user account. When I am trying add new user account (with different name and pass), it always shows me an error window "User already exist".

3.  Search bar under "Copy to clipboard" button disappeared.

4.  Also very useful fast access thing like "Restrict access" with list of already exists accounts disappeared too from right click menu (now hidden in "Properties" menu).


All of that menus, options, etc. are a bit non intuitive for me, hard to find something in mass of another text options.

1. no, it works also for virtual folders.
that option was an advice for budro's needs.
almost all menus are explained at menu -> help -> full guide

2. it's strange. are you using 2.3 build 212 ? can you show a screenshot?

3. it disappears when the log is empty or when you are in "easy mode".

4. i know, that was a long and highly requested move, by people. try to get accustomed to the new way, it may take a short time.

5. eh... i know, it's a problem. if you have suggestions, we are interested.

It is true that the New account button :

right click -> Properties... -> access ... displays this error.

Only the choice to enter an existing account is accepted in this way.  (why )

To create a new account, you must:

Menu -> Other options -> User accounts.
(or F7)

to disable this bug , in utilib.pas

function createAccountOnTheFly():Paccount;
.....

before:    if getAccount(acc.user) <> NIL then break;     

after :     if getAccount(acc.user) = NIL then break;
