    Filesystem Integration on Windows Last reply on May 12, 2008 07:46.

    File system integration is a great feature. It allows to directly access and stream large files before they are completely downloaded and is the basis of the planned write access. Unfortunately, it is hard to make it work reliably on Windows. Often, it takes one or two minutes until Windows can connect to the Wuala drive. The latest update brings some improvements and compatibility with 64-Bit systems (read below on how I could made it work on my 64-Bit Vista SP1). I'll link from the Wuala settings directly to this article so this is the right place to discuss issues and tricks on how to make it work.

    May 5 Update Killed Uploads Last reply on May 09, 2008 15:56.

    After the May 5 Update (419), all outstanding uploads vanished. This happened on Windows Vista x64 and Windows XP x86.
    Vista seems to be slowly doing maintenance. XP has no activity.

    wuala proper graceful shutdown methods - (with) traybar icon missing Last reply on May 03, 2008 18:13.

    sometimes wuala is missing its tray icon (win32). sometimes when auto-logon to windows xp (for example autologin with tools like powertoys/tweakui) is activated, the wuala trayicon cant be created/registered as the traybar (explorer.exe components or such) havent been started yet.

    im not into win32 api details, but i think i remember that with at least winxp and later windows builds new methods and calls have been implemented into windows to recreated/redraw/register the tray icons and tray-related stuff in case explorer.exe / desktop crashes or restarts and things like that.

    please make wuala work properly with the windows tray area or at least add a real quit/shutdown icon on the wuala logon window, as wuala can only be exited properly with rightclick on the traybaricon and "exit" there for example when wuala is logged out. when the traybar icon is missing, there is only the really unclean and hardcore killing way of the wuala.exe process left for quitting wuala, which isnt really nice i suppose.

    also, wuala doesnt react properly to wm_quit message that i tried to send with process.exe tool from beyondlogic guys.

    C:\>process -q wuala.exe

    Command Line Process Viewer/Killer/Suspender for Windows NT/2000/XP V2.03
    Copyright(C) 2002-2003 Craig Peacock beyondlogic org
    Sending PID 832 'wuala.exe' WM_CLOSE Message. Timeout is 60 seconds.
    wuala.exe (PID 832) failed to respond to WM_CLOSE. Terminating Now.
    Sending PID 832 'wuala.exe' WM_CLOSE Message. Timeout is 60 seconds.
    wuala.exe (PID 832) has been closed successfully.

    so maybe you guys can add proper wm_close message handling of the wuala main app, or fix the traybar/trayicon handling or add a real shutdown/exit function also to the logon-window or the main wuala window too.

    would be great thanks.

    Shell extension for Windows Last reply on March 26, 2008 07:02.

    It would be great to have a shell extension for Windows to upload files quickly.

    For example: Right-click on a file you want to upload, select "upload to Wuala" and than you may select the right folder where you want to upload.

    A feature like that would be nice and saves a lot of time :)

    Upnp not forwarding port Last reply on March 11, 2008 20:27.

    I am using the linux client on my Ubuntu Gutsy laptop and I have an Asus WL-500G Premium router on which UPnP works (tested with utorrent for example).
    Wuala does not work, it says that it forwards the port but it doesn't do it correctly. I tried to manually forward the port but it didn't work.

    Analyzing Connection...
    Got answer from Ping Server A, your external adress is /89.39.xx.xx:7489
    Got answer from Ping Server B, your external adress is /89.39.xx.xx:7489
    /89.39.xx.xx:7489 does not accept incoming connections.
    Trying UPnP...
    Found UPnP router http://192.168.1.1:5431/dyndev/uuid:0...
    Port forwarding setup successful, retesting connection...
    /89.39.xx.xx:7489 does not accept incoming connections.
    It seems your connection is not suitable for trading storage.
    Please enable UPnP on your router/firewall or configure it manually to forward incoming UDP connections
    on port 7489 to this computer. If you have already done so, you

    And on my router it says that it forwarded port 7489 UDP to 127.0.1.1 (not my local IP).
