Re: Photos not displayed on Extender

Well, I moved the pictures to the shared folder and they displayed fine on
the MCX.

I double checked to make sure that the MCX had access to "my documents" and
everything was checked. However, when I expanded the folder I was having
problems with, only three of the nine files were listed.

Do I have to always use the shared folder from now on if I modify my photos?
This seems like a very strange problem since non-modified files display
correctly.
