Content Directory file path issue

[simoncn]

I have done some experiments with my Intel Mac and a USB-attached hard drive.

If I select Properties from the taskbar minim icon, then use Finder to drag a folder from the USB drive into the contentDir field of the Properties window, the dragged folder sticks there and replaces anything that was previously in the contentDir field. I can then click the OK button to save this change and select Rescan from the taskbar minim icon to rescan the newly added folder. I don't know why this wasn't working for you.

If I select Configure from the taskbar minim icon to open the MinimServer configuration web page, then select the Properties tab, then use Finder to drag a folder from the USB drive into the contentDir field of the Properties tab, the dragged folder sticks there but does not replace the previous value in the contentDir field. Instead, the dropped folder path is inserted into the text that was previously in the contentDir field, producing an incorrect path. To replace the previous value, it is necessary to first delete the previous value and then drag in the new value. After this, I can click the Save button to save this change and then click the Restart button to rescan the newly added folder.

This difference in how a folder drop is handled (replace or insert) is confusing and I will look into changing how the configuration web page handles a folder drop so that it works the same way as the Properties dialog.
