I observe some strange behaviour in the file manager. When starting the file manager I get a screen with 2 folders: one for the internal diskdevice and one for the memory card.

Everything looks fine when looking in the memory card folder.
But in the internal memory folder I see double entries:
The "Audio clips" folder is shown twice, as is 'Camera' and 'Documents' and 'Images' and 'Video Clips'.

Within some subfolders some files are also listed twice...

I thought this is caused by the tracker daemon so I cleared the tracker files, but that does not help.

Anyone any ideas about this?

It's bug 5838 and the fix is due to be in PR1.2. As a workaround, you can try deleting some of the other files/folders in MyDocs (don't try deleting the doubled-up folders though).

I believe the number of files and folders shouldn't exceed 32. Once it does, you'll get duplicate files. Keep it under that number and you should be fine. What i do is put all my random crap in a folder called Random.

If you're comfortable using x-term, it might be worth checking your MyDocs folder for files with names starting with '._' (since their filenames start with a dot they will be invisible in filemanager)
I had the same problem you had a while back, and deleting the files starting with '._' (without the quotes of course) solved it for me... (didn't seem to be the 32+ files problem since I never had that many files in my MyDocs folder)

So going into x-term, you can list your files using
Code:
ls -a /home/user/MyDocs
and if you see any files starting with ._ you can delete them with the following command:
Code:
rm /home/user/MyDocs/._*
Hope this helps...

THAT FIXED THE PROBLEM !!
I have some files, .gpx, audio, images and other things in the root of MyDocs, so i made a directory called STUFF and put all that into there and now the duplicated folders are GONE.

Thanks !!!
