Hi Garth, well, the dropbox here seems to work a bit strange. Folders that i have added are not vissible on my mac, but are on my iPhone and online. When i stand on a file and copy it to the clipboard, i cannot paste that file into a folder in my dropbox. It simply won't work. the tip about VO shift and m was very good, i didnot know that. but my problems are not over with that smile. hope you have a better picture now?
