Don't know if it's OS 10.6 related, cause I'm using 1.5.8 and am having tons of beachballing with ExpanDrive, which I virtually never had in time past. Maybe I should try to dig up an old copy of Expandrive v1.3 myself...

Dropbox won't upload new files until it is relaunched.

Whether it is saving a new version of an already uploaded file, or adding an entirely new file or folder to Dropbox, it won't upload until I quit and then relaunch the Dropbox app. (Mac OS Leopard.) How can I resolve this? Tried "reinstalling" Dropbox (aka downloading and replacing the .app) but there was no change.

Shared folders become unshared! Is renaming an issue?

Twice now I've had folders that I owned become unshared, while everyone else is still sharing them. There is no alert, we simply become puzzled when I'm not getting updates, nor are they getting mine. I have to go and rejoin the folder on the web interface's sharing pane, and then manually merge my content with the new. Why could this be happening?

Related: What happens when I rename a subfolder within a shared folder? Does it update to the other accounts, or no? What about if I rename the shared folder itself?

Using Mac OS Leopard.

A comment on the idea "Coda + SVN = Booya" in Panic Inc:

Ditto! Intro to SVN for non-devs, how Coda executes SVN, et al, please! And if anyone knows of any good articles, please post them here. – sabbatical, on July 23, 2009 19:34

YES, PLEASE!
A huge +1 for this!

Ditto to this. It kinda seems to be a flake-out for Atebits staff to say that the power of Tweetie requires the OS menubar. You could provide the same functionality via dropdowns or contextual menus (and of course key commands within the app.) C'mon guys! Hoping for this in an not-too-distant update!

All in all though, great app. You're almost at that point where it can be my defacto tweetapp, but like others have said, help us reduce clutter!

Wanted to pay with PayPal balance, but can't!

Hi, I have some extra cash on my PayPal account as the result of a double charge to my bank account, so I was going to use some of that to upgrade my ExpanDrive Mac 1.x to 2.0. But your ordering interface asks me to draw from a bank account or credit card again! Which made me go "meh", and drop the order.

Is there no way to just pay off a PayPal account balance? Money is money, and you already accept PayPal. What's up?

sabbatical replied on April 08, 2009 03:42 to the question "Can not open Slife. It only runs in the background. (MAC with Leopard 10.5.6)" in Slife Labs:

This is actually the way I want it to run. (No dock, no menubar, no getting in my way.) But then when I want to check up on how I'm spending my time in a week or two in the Slife reports, I've gotta go digging in the preference file, as you say, to make the app visible again.

Obv the solution is to split Slife into an app that does the background activity and preference/visualization app. In the meantime, maybe an applescript or something should be issued for the less tech-ified?

Agree! Sometimes I've got files opened externally, and make multiple changes-save-more changes-save... and need to manually select in Coda and publish each time.

Thanks! This could use an interface tweek. Even if I have the Twitter service selected and then use the "+" button, it adds a generic folder that seems to be useless.

How do you use folders in Eventbox?

I cannot figure out what the functionality of folders in Eventbox is supposed to be. I can't seem to drag anything into the folder, and can't seem to create anything inside the folder. Am I missing something, or is there really no point to these folders?

I've got this problem as well, but my system didn't crash.
