first off, when i minimize the soulseek window it goes away and i cant reopen it until i restart my computer, how do i fix this? i currently am using SoulseekQt build 2014.2.14 on widows 8.1....
2nd is that when i started i didnt not have any files to share, now that i have files how do i share them? i have nothing in the shared files box and cannot add a folder to it. I when to my songs files and have hit the "shared" button under properties but nothing is in the box in soulseek. how do can i change these issues? can anyone help?
