Hi all,

I\'ve been searching and going through posts, but having trouble finding a place to get started...

I hope someone can answer a few questions for me...


Question #1 - I want to set up a directory of folders, but OpenKM only seems to create new folders as the child of the folder above (see the image attached)

I also can\'t do anything with the folders (except change the names) I can\'t collapse the directories by clicking the minus buttons...


This is really frustrating (I\'m not a computer expert, but I can figure out new software pretty easily and have no troubles with everything from ftp to Photoshop, but I just can\'t understand what\'s happening here :S)


Could someone please tell me how to set up a directory of folders and import files to them?


Thanks :)

Now, I log out and log in again and the folders I created are gone... Image

aaaargghh!

I uploaded a couple of files and moved one of them to \'my documents\' (the folders I \'created\' didn\'t exist in the dialogue box)

Now that the file has been moved, \'My Documents\' will no longer open from the left hand side tab (trash, templates and taxonomy open, but nothing happens when I click \'My Documents\' now)


Also, the add documents button works until I add a folder and then stops working (and can\'t be used again with that tab until I log out and all the folders I \'created\' disappear again)


Is there an error in my installation perhaps? (this is so far the most confusing and non-instinctual application I\'ve ever tried to use...)

I\'ve got one answer... (you have to press \'enter\' to finalize the creation of a folder)

Actually pretty much OK for now (found Check Out and Check In)

Will pop in and scream about stuff from time to time (until then, check out what I\'ve learned so far in my forum http://www.besteikaiwa.com/forum/ in the http://www.besteikaiwa.com/forum/index.php?topic=230.0 thread)
