At the moment if a directory is recursively shared, any new directories added below it are not added to the sharelist.
The only way to add those directories is to either add them manually or unshare/reshare the parent directory in preferences.
Ditto if files are added to the directories - although in this case it's a matter of hitting the reload button in shared files tab.
It'd be nice to have periodic automated rescans of shared directories/suddirectories.
It'd be even nicer if shared directories and files could be configured using amulegui
Thanks

You're right, rescan button doesn't work in this case. AMule restart neither. That's a bug of course.
I'm against periodic rescans - I'd rather fix the manual rescan.

For that you'll have to change the format of shareddir.dat.

Which you won't.

In your TOFIX list already?

How about making periodic an option?

More in my WONTFIX list it seems. :-X

Folders are shared explicitly, not because they pop up in a shared folder.
-
OK, I can see that's how it is. Question is if that's how it should be.
This might prevent people sharing files, so I think that's an issue.
(Side note: ever tried sharing a folder with 280 subfolders ?)

Ditto.
It's annoying because you can't trigger a rescan _OR_ define shared directories using amule remote interfaces.

Uuuuuuuugly....

Right click on the icon and it shares all the subfolders. What's the issue?

On linux you could hide a little bit of code in your initscripts.
I experimented with this:
tree -dfino /home/aMule/.amule/shareddir.dat <path_to_share_dir> --noreport
This overwrites your shareddir.dat with the directory tree of your share.
On another note: Afaik amuled does not support SIGHUP syscalls? Would be nice to reload your config without having to restart amuled.

Then just fix EC. Still, what's the issue? I was talking to Stu, not the other dude with the weird nickname.

People might add files to their shared dirs using new subdirs and not notice they don't get shared. That's what might be an issue.
We could change the share format prepending '+' ("share this recursively") and '-' ("don't share this"), then a simple "reload shared" would take care of it as expected. Periodic rescan would also become possible.

Fixed since 9586. :)

You really can't change the shared dirs dat format.

Exactly.
It took me a while to realise that this was the case and it's awkward/annoying having to shut down amuled and run up amule to change things every time a new directory is added (Hint: amule X interface over WAN is slow)
The other side of this coin is when subdirectories are deleted. Amuled notices, bleats and removes them from the dynamic sharelist, but it then repeats this complaint every time it's restarted.
