Linux version creates empty folders with name of received files

[daveindezmenez]

Not a biggie but my Linux version of Nitroshare, when it receive files from another computer will create an empty folder named the same as the file. For instance if it received a file called "picture.jpg" you'll also find an empty folder with that same name. It will do this for every received file. I don't think I saw this on my Windows or Mac computers.

This is an issue with version 3.3 of the the Linux version. I compiled the 3.4 Raspibian version and it does not happen. It was a pain to recompile the 3.4 version as there was a problem with the code that I had to fix (I don't remember what it was I had to fix, but it took a lot of Google work and trial and error as I don't know how to code). You will have to manually install it into the /usr/bin/ folder though. If someone knows how to update the various Linux repositories with the 3.4 version that would be great because it works fine after you finally get it compiled.

Will it work with Linux Mint?

[daveindezmenez]

Tried to install the 3.4 version from GitHub but it says it does not support Bionic, which Ubuntu (what Linux Mint is based on, uses. Where can I find your version?

[digitalMedic]

I don't know if the one I compiled will work with Linux Mint because it is for Raspibian.

Things got so busy that I forgot to ask for the link to get to your Google drive to download your fixed version Linux version of Nitroshare. If you can provide that I would like to try it and see if it solved the problem I’ve had (incoming files being accompanied but an empty folder with the same name as the file).
