=== Tabble sharing: successfully tested in the Cloud/Internet with ===

- Shared drive, both in LAN and via VPN
- Powerfolder
- Dropbox
- Windows live sync
- Sugarsync
- Via FTP Using Netdrive for XP or Vista/7 works!!!. Check the howto (thanks to trevfee!). If this doesn't work for you, check the ftp debug
- Using Gladinet: tested with FTP and Google docs and box.net ---> AMAZING!.

Note: crash using Netdrive with illegal filenames -> Fixes in 1.5.12!
If you try to browse/access (with Tabbles) a disk mapped with Netdrive on an FTP, and there are files containing characters which are illegal in Windows but allowed in Unix/Linux (such as ":"), Tabbles will crash miserably.
Wanna try it yourself? Create a an empty folder, create a file inside it and rename it to file:something (you need to rename it via FTP as Windows will not allow you to rename a file using the ":" character.
We're aware of the problem and know the solution, we'll fix this asap (not yet fixed in 1.5.11rev3)



=== HOWTOs ===

1) How to connect Tabbles to an FTP server - under Win XP. I couldn't make it work on Win7... anyone?

- Download and install Netdrive for 7/Vista or for XP
- Enter the required info

How to setup netdrive for Tabbles

- The drive letter specified in the ‘Drive’ dropdown (X in the example above) is now available as a drive on your PC and is accessible by Tabbles.

Not working for you? Check this:
FTP sharing wasn't previously working as when we tested it there was a file in the FTP directory with an illegal name, and Tabbles crashed saying that "the directory path was given in an unknown format". What do then?
- The files was: Thumbs.db:encryptable -> the : in the filename made it crash.
- How did we discover it? Using Gladinet, cause Gladinet, does show you all the relevant exceptions and will tell if there is any file/folder with an illegal name, and where it is.


=== Wanna do some testing with us? ===

Hey everybody,
we've just set up a LAN over VPN where we can test Tabbles nearly as on real LAN...
Wanna test it with us? Just PM and I'll send you the info!

I would like to see an option to say: never share files tagged with this tabble even when they are tagged with other shared tabbles

And I miss an possibility to share all childs tabbles at once

Also a "hide user A tabbles", "just show user B" command

After disable sharing, the shared tabbles should not be seen anymore
And when I change my DB, the shared tabbles DB should be update itself
