new media folder broken?

Post by perler »

as it is impossible to search for this problem http://screencast.com/t/KMdHXMd1K - this may be a much discussed question, sorry for asking again:

is the new media folder working at all?!

1) the "clear all" button is at least 4 times there and doesn't do anything, so the folder is plastered with everything from the beginning of times
2) even empty folders are listed there, which doesn't makes sense.

is there a way to at least reset the folder to the current time somewhere in the backend?

Empty folders are always listed UNLESS you set the don't show empty folders config. No difference for the NewMedia stuff.
As always logs,logs logs. Clear all should work...

In you profile dir you'll have a file called UMS.mon which keeps track of which files that are old.

Is there any fix for this issue? A New Media folder can be quite useful... only if it actually shows the latest 15-30 items added to the library though... not the WHOLE library!
