This is not entirely a new bug with the 1.7 update, I have had this issue since like 1.5 something. But here is the problem. I download a texture pack or two, slap the .rar archive right on that ther resource pack folder, launch the game, check to see if the pack is on the list of my available textures,....not there. Tried extracting each pack to a single folder (maybe it would work when its not in an archive?),.....nope. Still, minecraft does not recognize that there are any new texture packs in the folder. I know for a fact that the problem isn't that the texture packs aren't updated to the game version, because I have been using like 5 different other packs that from like 1.4 and earlier and they work just fine with all versions of the game. But for some reason it won't let me throw in any more texture packs. It just simply doesn't recognize that they are there. Anybody have any solutions?

Okay, i see. your problem is with the order of folders. each pack should have it's own folder inside the resource pack folder in .minecraft. The pack folder(s) need to be in windows file folder form, or .zip format. so, it should be:
don't forget that there needs to be a pack.mcmeta file inside the folder of the pack.

It is possible to use resource packs unarchived like you tried or in a .zip, but not a .rar.
I believe your problem is when you said "from 1.4 and earlier". In 1.6 the texture packs system was changed to resource packs, and are structured differently. There are things out there that will convert them but you really should get the most recent versions.

I'm a little confused :/ Do you think you could like break it down to VERY simple terms, or direct me to a tutorial somewhere? Wouldn't really know what to search to find one.
