I have installed it on two computers, added two folders and started subscriptions. But on the the ”client” computer I can only see the folders, not the content. The help files doesn’t help a bit. A complete waste of time. I can’t get this to work. I have installed it on two computers, added two folders and started subscriptions.

Hello – I’m a new registered owner of Picnic 1.0.3

My MAJOR problem is as follows.

On my home wired network I have:

PowerMac G4 Dual 1.25GHz, 1.25GB RAM and OS X 10.4.10 (with the SOURCE FOLDER) and

Mac Pro Dual 2.0, 2GB RAM and OSX 10.4.10

I want to share a large folder that has all my downloaded installers – called “OS X” it is about 34GB in size.

The source folder has 509 items in it.

I’ve left both systems running Picnic overnight, checking the folder contents on a regular basis.

At one point the MacPro copy of the folder got to 420 items and seems to have stuck.

I have rebooted each system and left it for another 12 hours and nothing has changed.

When I look at the MacPro Picnic window it shows “OS X (qb@qbg4)” and the spinning icon in the upper right when I look at the Queue.

When I look at the G4 it has nothing in the upper right.

BOTH Queues are empty. I would have expected to see something in the queues.

BOTH Conflict windows are empty.

What is going wrong here???

thanks.
