Lonnie,
Thanks for this change. I checked it against my box (net5501) after an
upgrade to 0.7.2 / 1.6.19 and everything was as expected.
I upgraded my other box (net4801) and I still get the same behavior as
before for the Directory tab. I verified via the web interface that the GUI
version is 1.6.19.
Is there something I can check or do to get this working the same? I
appreciate your wonderful work on this.
John R.
