What is odd is that only one addon cause this trouble; all are done the same way with the same tools so really this is strange...

Were they all done with the same version Christophe? Just curious
because my system does react differently to different of your folders.

Then again, could just be Vista getting adapted too. Many updates.

Thanks, Bob

FYI,
I downloaded both Atlantis models and they had the same hidden files but I also downloaded Liberty Bell 7 and that had different hidden files. Atlantis has .DS_Store files and Liberty Bell has Icon_Bonus_for_osX.sit files. I don't have any problems with them though.

Icon_Bonus_for_osX.sit is not an hidden file; I think the name is self explanatory. To share icons, I had no choice than using a sit archive because zip just trash the custom icons...

ElChristou,
Sorry. Your right of course. In the Liberty Bell 7 addon, the top folder doesn't have a hidden file and there are .DS_Store hidden files in the textures and models folders :oops: Maybe this is why Bob is getting different treatment with Vista. No hidden file in the top folder.
