I'm getting a little confused - and maybe there's something else I hadn't explained.

- The directory scan only presents you with the option of selecting file that have mimetypes recognised by VBulletin - have a look at the top of the links and files admin page / settings and permissions. Not sure what this is on a clean install of Vbulletin - something like gif, jpeg, doc, etc

- The first time you carry out a scan on a directory, the listing should include all the files it finds, with three columns offering select, ignore and omit. The ones that you 'select' are inserted as downloadable links into the specified category. The ones that you 'ignore' are registered in a file 'ignore.txt' in the web directory, so that they will not be presented to you again the next time you run a scan on the same directory. The ones you 'omit' are ignored this time only.

- The next time you scan the same directory, the listing will *only* include files that are either a) new or b) were 'omitted' the previous time. It does not show the ones that you 'selected' or 'ignored'

If you're having problems with /*, try it first on a directory where you know there are files of interest, e.g. put a jpeg file into a directory and use the scan to look for it.
