Hello!

I just stumbled upon this sweet sharing client and downloaded the .exe-file. I use Ubuntu 8.10 now so I'm running it through Wine. On Wines website, they have tested it with no problem. I though have a problem: When I started it for the first time it worked good, I added a file and could go on the url on Firefox. Then I added another file and clicked the file in the program, right when I did this everything froze. First the program turned grey (Like it should on Ubuntu), then the mouse started to lag and I couldn't do a thing, I couldn't navigate, press anything, not even the panels. Finally Ubuntu forced the program to close and everything turned out normal, with small lags sometimes. Eventually they disappeared. I tried to open it again and the same thing happened!

Before this happened I saved a save-file as hfs.ini to the registry as in Windows, could it have anything to do with that? That the Wine isn't capable of doing that?

What is this problem and how do I solve it?

I appreciate help!

Thank you!

I'm really not an expert in Linux world, but I think you just can't use the registry things under Ubuntu.
Registry, even if Ubuntu has one, is certainly not the same as the Windows's one :)

I think the only solution is to save into files.
