Re: Problem with sharing files

[TheJackiMonster]

Hi Christian,

thank you for the detailed answer. I will definitely look more into it.
I have tested now again with my laptop using the packages from the AUR.
You were right that I didn't test directly via gnunet-publish from
terminal (only messenger-gtk, cadet-gtk and gnunet-fs-gtk).So gnunet-
publish worked for me now.

However cadet-gtk seems to work fine as well now and even my code in
the current state of messenger-gtk works. ^^'

Maybe it is just a plugin difference or it is a quite unreliable issue
somewhere in the process. I need to check on my main setup again if I'm
able to. But at least I can continue writing the GUI parts for sharing
files in the mean time.

Happy hacking
Jacki
