new group under site manager doesn't work

Heya everybody!
This might've already been brought up, but here goes..
F4 brings up site manager, click New group, name you group, hit ok then close.
Then POOF it disappears...
workaround: move a site from somewhere else in the site manager to your new group before you close it.

Just FYI! keep up the good work!

I am unable to reproduce this problem.
Did you download the full install or the update?
Is anyone else able to reproduce this problem?

yup, i just reproduced it....if you don't put a site under the new group before you close, the group doesn't get saved.

Oh is that what you meant? It's not possible to have empty groups. This is a limitation by design.

here's how i ran into this: i had a site in my quick connect that i wanted to add to the site manager, but in a new group. so i went to add the group, and found that. i guess i could've dragged from the quick connect folder in the site manager, didn't think of it. just seems weird tho.

FlashFXP doesn't save groups specifically. It saves a list of sites with the group name as part of the site name. When FlashFXP parses the sites.dat file it compiles a list of groups and organizes teh sites under them. So there is no way for FlashFXP to keep track of a group with no sites in it. I'm fairly sure this is how it work, if I'm wron, please excuse me.

That's exactly how it works
