Yes, you're right! But unfortunately, unlike all the other images in Yummy FTP, it just so happens that this paritcular image isn't a separate file. I'll change the color to be more gray-ish for the next beta and we'll see how everyone likes it

Ok, understood. You're not being a pest

No, there's no way to change the color - it's an image file which is being drawn.

Is it really the color which makes it hard for you? Prior to release, one user did suggest that the color should be more 'gray' than the yellow tint, but I stuck with the iTunes color. I could still be persuaded that I made the wrong choice

Other than that, do you have any suggestions to make the area more consistent with the application?

I'm not certain which part you mean. Are you referring to the iTunes-like 'status area' ?

Hi Andre',

Sorry for the delayed reply.

Auto-reconnect is necessary because, like everything in this world, nothing is perfect. This applies to Internet connections and FTP server software too. With Yummy FTP, you don't need to worry about that.

Thanks,
Jason

Please provide step by step instructions to reproduce the problem. Also, if possible, please provide an FTP transcript showing success with Transmit and failure using Yummy.

With this information I will be able to fix any problem with Yummy.

Thanks!

Tabs and direct server to server transfers are already on the To Do list.

You can already copy between servers if you open two windows - one for each server - then drag between the windows. This copies to your Mac first, then uploads to the destination server.

I don't know how the 'music locker' works that you mentioned, but FTP has nothing to do with web site transfers like that - it's a completely different protocol.

Sorry I didn't get to answer you sooner

What you need to do is drag onto the Header area of the listing. This works identically to the Finder.

That's a shame 

I suppose it's possible that your server was changed and/or is located elsewhere now, which might have an effect on it's time offset and/or capabilities. Other than that, I've run out of ideas on this one.

Let me know if it happens again.

Excellent - I'll look forward to examining those There must be a difference I would think... we'll see

I did receive the image, thank you, but without knowing what your settings were exactly at that point then it's not any help unfortunately. All I could see was that the dates/times were incorrect.

If the time offset specified was already correct then it wouldn't matter if Auto-detect was on or off.

I'm referring to the 'Independent window settings' checkbox in the Interface panel of the Preferences.

When this is un-checked, the global toolbar config is used for all FTP browser windows.
When this is checked, each FTP browser connected via a Bookmark has its own toolbar config and un-bookmarked FTP browsers will use the global toolbar config.

Bear in mind that it's not only the toolbar config which is affected by this setting - it also affects:

• Window size and position
• Drawers open/closed and sizes
• Transcript hidden/shown
• Mac view hidden/shown
• Column/List view
• List view column arrangements and sizes

and probably others that I forgot

You can't pre-configure the toolbar config. The only way is to configure it from an FTP Browser, then subsequent FTP Browser windows will have the same config.

Ah ok, you're forgiven

The automatic time offset detection feature works by sending a small temporary file to the server - it can then fetch the modification date/time of the file on the server and compare it to the time on your Mac at which the upload completed. This results in the time offset value. And yes, it should be quite robust as far as DST changes are concerned.

There is no written standard on the directory list format given by an FTP server. As a result, there are very many widely differing varieties of listing format. One side effect of this is there is also no standard for the value of the date field either.

The reason the offset is needed is two-fold:

1. To display the date/time of Server items as though they were in the same time zone as you. This makes it easy to see which is newer when browsing, for example.

2. For use duing Synchronization to correctly determine which file is newer (Mac or Server) and upload or download accordingly

Do you by any chance still have the original Bookmark? I'd love to take a look and compare it to your new one. Then I could see exactly what the difference was

While I'm really glad to hear that you've sorted out the issue, it leaves some mystery behind. My test steps were meant to resolve this, but I guess we'll never know now... did you try my test steps?

I really don't think that your conclusion is correct - Bookmarks can't display correct settings then behave differently. The time offset and the ahead/behind setting will get set automatically if you have the 'Automatically detect time offset' option enabled. The only other way is if you changed it by mistake.

Regarding the toolbar, the configuration can either be per Bookmark, or a single global one depending on your Preferences setting. With the former preference, a new Bookmark will take on the default toolbar configuration.

Ok let's get this straight - the 'Use UTC' setting has nothing to do with date/time display in the listings. It changes the way that the date/time value is sent to the server when uploading a file. Let's put MDTM and UTC aside for now because they're just confusing the issue.

Do the following:

1. In your Bookmark, disable MDTM
2. In your Bookmark, enable 'Automatically detect time offset'
3. Save the changes
4. Connect to your Bookmarked server
5. Upload one file

I would expect that the date/time of the uploaded file will be displayed in Yummy as the time that you uploaded it (in your local time). ie at 10:56 am my local time I finished uploading a file. I would expect to see 10:56 am as the date modified time of the uploaded file in the server listing.

What do you see when you try this?

Sorry, I re-read your post - I can see you enabled MDTM after I mentioned it. That would imply that your time offset is set incorrectly and/or you don't have 'Automatically detect time offset' enabled.

Was MDTM enabled before or did you just enable it because I mentioned it? It's meant to allow you to set the date/time of server files, however MDTM is not supported by many servers. Does your server support it?

'Use UTC' is nothing to do with 12 or 24 clock. It changes the way that the modification date/time is set for server items. You probably need to enable this if you enabled MDTM, but it does vary from server to server and there is no way of knowing in advance.

Obviously, yes, the date/time needs to be synched between Mac and Server before anything.

So, I ask again - Do you have 'Automatic time offset detection' enabled?
