I placed a directory with approx. 50 different WAV files on my Ubuntu system but when I browse to that location from within the Thunderbird e-mail program in an attempt to specify one of those files as a new e-mail alert, I can only see 2 of the 50 some files.

The directory and files are located under my home directory.

Why can I not see all of these files, from within the setup section of the Thunderbird program ?

On occasions when I have the option (and unfortunately I don't in this case) to use the Evolution e-mail client, I do NOT have this problem.

Thanks.

starting with the obvious, does the user thunderbird runs as have read and execute permissions on those wav files?
