For the life of me I cannot figure this out. I have been with computers all my life but with XMM I have experienced something I have never seen before. XMM can see files which cannot be seen by windows explorer or other file manager. I discovered this when I tried (unsuccessfully) to copy my data base with covers and fanart to other computer. If you go with windows explorer to the folder where I keep my database file stamp (date) is different than the one you see when you try to access same folder with XMM (“open database”). Screen capture is enclosed.
The result is that whatever I do to update database on one computer and then try to copy that on other and open is lost. Now if you “cheat” and within XMM open a folder where I keep database and right click and chose send file to external drive (same with folders) correct (updated files) will be copied. Why is this happening?
I searched through my HD and there is no other database with the same name but the one listed above. It is the only file with that name on my computer. And as mentioned that file shows different size, date and properties in file explorer compared with when you are opening it within XMM 7.
As you can see in the above screen capture, I tried creating Test database and put some sample movies. THAT DATABASE OPENS in XMM BUT YOU CANNOT FIND IT ON A COMPUTER (except within XMM "open database" command. This is unbelievable!!!!
Mistery!
