Soulseek General Discussion

Switched to latest built of QT when my copy of soulseex became unusable on my new mac running Lion 10.7.2.
Logged in using username and pass I've been using for years on soulseek.Worked fine one evening then on next open i got a "local error" for all files I tried to download. Now the problem is, the preferences are now greyed out and the shares tab is empty.
I'm stuck for solutions.
Thanks Nir for any possible insight,

The shares tab only contains the shares of users you've browsed, so it should be empty by default. Are you saying the Options tab is grayed out? Can you post a screenshot?

Hello Nir,
Found the share folder location under options.I am now able to use SlskQT but nothing is ever saved after I quit and reopen.Not my queued downloads, not my user lists, not my share folder, not my partial downloads, nothing except my days of priviliges left seem to stick...

Are your username and password being saved? Try looking at the Diagnostics->Logs->Configuration Data tab after having run the client for about ten minutes, it should say what file it's trying to save the configuration data to. If this is in a folder that doesn't exist or to which the client might not have write permission that should explain it. Either way let me know which folder/file you see there.

In Diagnostics->Logs-> there is no config data tab, there are 9 tabs named, in sequence; Distributed network, Wish List, Port forwarding, Shared, Mp3 scanning, Peer Messenger, Server, Search and Transfer queue...So I don't know where to look.

Which nightly build are you using? It should say at the top of the client window.

Updated to newest mac build.Configuration data seems to load:
[Wed Jan 11 13:14:46 2012] Loading configuration data from /Users/blablabla/.Soulseek
[Wed Jan 11 13:14:46 2012] Data loaded successfully.

Still cannot retreive my unfinished download queues, saved users or searches ect after I quit and reopen.

Do you ever get a "Saving configuration data" message in the same tab?

Must have been the Unicode save folder bug :) Cheers!
