Environment
Novell Filr 1.0.1
Novell Filr 1.0.1 Desktop client
Novell Filr 1.0.1 Desktop client
Situation
When a file which is shared with one or more Filr users (via the Filr Desktop client) is moved from it's original location to another location (such as a sub-folder), it clears the 'shared by me' and 'shared with me' areas. Even if the the moved file is re-shared (via the Filr Desktop client), the 'shared by me' and 'shared with me' areas do not show the shared file.
Resolution
A fix for this issue is available in the Filr 1.0.1 Hot Patch 1, available via the Novell Patch Finder.
Additional Information
Steps to duplicate:
- User-1 and User-2 are setup with Novell Filr Desktop clients.
- Using the Novell Filr Desktop client, User-1 shares a file (testfile.xlsx) from his home directory with User-2.
- Using the Filr Web access (browser) User-2 views the 'Shared with me' area and verifies he can see file shared in step 2.
- Using the Novell Filr Desktop client, User-1 moves the file (testfile.xlsx) to a new location/sub-directory in his Home folder.
- Now since the share gets deleted after a move operation, wait till the shared file is removed from User-2's 'Shared with me' area.
- Using the Novell Filr Desktop client, User-1 re-shares the same file (testfile.xlsx) with User-2 again.
- User-2's 'Shared with me' does not have the file shared in step 6
- User-1's 'Shared by me' does not have the file shared in step 6
