Why can't I sync my Documents folder on Mac?

[cgrauer]

Although PF offers it as default selection, I cannot sync my Documents folder on my Mac. On creating a folder I can't select it and if I move an existing folder to my documents, PF says "Invalid folder...". ??

Dear cgrauer
MAy i ask which version of powerfolder you use and which version mac os?
What happens if you create a folder on a custom location and point it on the folder?

[cgrauer]

I use PowerFolder 3.1.9 and Mac OS X 10.5.7

If I create a new folder and select the radio button "Documents" or if I select "User defined" and give the path (Users/xxx/Documents), in both cases the "Next"-Button remains grey and unclickable and so I cannot continue.

I created a folder with an other path and then tried to change the path to my documents folder. But this fails as well. PF tells: "invalid folder".

Is ist possible that you set the Powerfolder base directory under preferences to the same directory? if so please change the base directory to another place.

Please make sure that the "Base dir for ALL PowerFolders" under Preferences is not identical with the target folder you want to sync.

This is a common error.

I changed the default path in the settings and immediately PF began to sync my documents :-) Thanks a lot rutkowsky and sprajc!
