I thought the same thing. As I read the documentation, that's exactly what a filter is supposed to do. But I have a "blank" filter, which claims it will connect any USB device, and that doesn't happen. My guest doesn't see the device until I select it in the guest menu. It's that problem which prompted my initial request for help. In my case, I have only one guest. I'm only running VBox because the application won't run on a recent Fedora release and the hardware won't work with an old release. Solution, run the old release as a guest under the new release. But the application needs to use the flash drive. -- Dave Close, Compata, Irvine CA "Genius may have its limitations, dave@xxxxxxxxxxx, +1 714 434 7359 but stupidity is not thus dhclose@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx handicapped." --Elbert Hubbard -- users mailing list users@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe or change subscription options: https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/users Guidelines: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines Have a question?
