Hi all,

So, great product and happy to own it. But even though I have this great product I can't use it, I'm stuck getting hold of my picture folder on the server it runs on. I have setup windows home server, and want to use the default network share "Photos" as the root for Imagevue. When I moved all the pictures to the content folder (as intended I guess) and made a NTFS junction point back to the network share it all worked except the read\wright permissions on the network share - which needs to be in order. A junction the other way will not result in any pictures in Imagevue, I can see the folder come up but no pictures or subfolders.

So, any idée on how to get this setup working smooth and dynamically?

Hi Karl, when I used the ntfs junction I moved my pictures right under the content folder. I have organized them by subfolders named the year they are taken -> content\2007\Summer Vacation\*.jpg+++ if you get the picture. And this worked fine. But, the idee of having a sentralized storage would be to access the pictures from that network drive cluster, and when reversing the ntfs junction I couldn't get up any folders.... So to bould down the answer - I dont use the default location which imagevue wants me to use. PS:But the imagevue runs on the server administering the shares, if that helps. Please let me know if you need me to do some more explaining.

Edward.
