hello.
apologies if this should be a duplicate, I couldn't find anything under select/selection. I have a degree in it, i'm a retired developer and the computer guy for f&f but I have zero experience with jellyfin or emby.
a friend wanted me to switch his nas from http to https which I took care of, however when switching jellyfin I've been stumbling with the absolutely simplest task. researching the issue this might be a problem that's been inherited from emby and never corrected: file/directory selection.
I need to upload a .p12 file for the https certificate, and yet i'm unable to. nothing i tried works, that is, neither typing the fully qualified name, nor selecting paths from jellyfin then adding the file name works and leads to a file not found error. the error message doesn't contain the file name, so I can't even figure out what string it composed from the selection which might allow me to correct the problem.
rather than upload an image, 2 lines will do:
Directory1 ->
Directory2 ->
I can navigate the directory tree by clicking on the name or the arrow, but once i reach the dir containing the certificate it won't allow file selection. this is incredible for a file selection feature, what is its purpose exactly? what it does instead is show "...". I have no idea what function the developers meant for those dots because clicking on them or the associated arrow simply clears the path input box.
i don't understand why was it coded in such an obtuse manner, why such a basic problem was never corrected. frankly, i'm ashamed to even ask this question, if i ever tell f&f that i have a masters in it and 30 years of experience but couldn't provide an app with a filename there's going to be... merryment.
could you please help, or at least explain the problem?
thank you ever so much
