I am stuck about how to use the drop Folder.
I found in another post that I Need to create subdirectories according to the user names.
Now, if I drop a file in there, what is supposed to happen? I don't find it anywhere in the UI (at least not where I have been looking).
I had a look at the code, but unfortunately, there are 170 occurences of the $dropfolderdir, so I didn't find the right spot yet to understand what might Need be required.
Any help is appreciated, thanks, Klaus

If you turn it on by setting a path for the dropfolder dir in the settings, then the adding of documents has a new field which enables you to take the file from that folder, instead of uploading it.
This is basically for a scenario where an external process creates files (like a scanner) which can than be put easily into SeedDMS.

Hmm.. i have set the path to /volume1/dms/
And in this folder i have subfolders according to the users defined in seeddms.
And in one subfolder i have about 7 PDF files which I want to import.
But i can't find a new field for adding documents from the drop dir. Only the field "drop files here!".
Can you give me any more help on this topic? Thanks, Mark

You shouldn't use any other theme than bootstrap, because that is the only one being maintained. What do you mean by 'nothing happens'? What did you do?

With the other themes than the bootstrap a pop-up window does open when I click the button choose file and I can pick a file from the file list. With the bootstrap theme the pop-up window does open but no file list will be shown. I can see the comment Please wait, until file list is loaded … only.

The followin error shows up in the apache error log
PHP Fatal error: Call to undefined method SeedDMS_Preview_Previewer::createRawPreview() in /var/www/seeddms/views/bootstrap/class.DropFolderChooser.php

The SeedDMS_Preview is installed in version 1.1.4. I could reproduce the issue and it has nothing todo with SeedDMS. It seems that the path variables for apache, php and pear are not set properly.

The new field appears when you upload a new document or add a new version to a document.
I got it work with all theme except for the bootstrap theme. If I use the bootstrap theme nothing happens.

Is your version of SeedDMS_Preview new enough? Better take the latest version from sourceforge.
The SeedDMS_Preview is installed in version 1.1.4. I could reproduce the issue and it has nothing todo with SeedDMS. It seems that the path variables for apache, php and pear are not set properly.
