v9.10.0014 - 2010-05-14 16:05
+++ Tree: Added new special folder <User> (the actual caption depends
on the current user name). Points to the current user's profile
folder (CSIDL_PROFILE).
+++ Configuration | General: Added toggles to make the three top
special folder nodes in Tree optional:
Show Desktop folder
Show Documents folder
Show User folder
Defaults differ with OS:
- On a fresh install you get this as default:
Vista/Win7 XP and earlier
Show Desktop folder - +
Show Documents folder - +
Show User folder + -
- On upgrading you get this as default:
Vista/Win7 XP and earlier
Show Desktop folder + +
Show Documents folder + +
Show User folder + -
Notes:
- If such a node is hidden then special paths like "Desktop" will
not work anymore in the special way but will be auto-resolved
to their real file system path.
- A Maxi Tree will be completely rebuilt after changes in these
settings. So these are is rather set-and-forget kind of
settings, nothing you switch on and off all the time.
- The Mini Tree does not really care about these settings but
shows and hides what you tell him to show and hide.
+ Menu View | Show Items: Added "Show Junctions" (also available in
Configuration | General). If unchecked then junctions are not
shown. The factory default is unchecked.
This command has mainly been added to get rid of the plethora of
junctions in Win7.
* After studying the bizarre Win7 file system a bit more I had to
change the way I handled the "Access Denied" issue on junctions
like "My Documents\My Music\", which only exist to ensure
compatibility to the old XP way which, for better or worse, has
been turned upside down in Win7.
The old way let to a number of problems and inconsistencies (files
were shown but could not be accessed; icons in the address bar
were missing; and others).
The new way still avoids the "Access Denied" error, but when you
want to go down to subfolders of the junction target, you will
actually be transported to the junction target in the tree. In
other words, Junctions like "My Documents\My Music\" will have no
subfolders in tree even if their targets have subfolders. They
are rather treated like links.
The simple fact is that these old XP folders are not part of Win7
anymore. XYplorer will not fight very hard against Win7 to make
them usable as if they still existed.
Further Notes:
- The above junction handling only concerns junctions on drive C:\
and with the SYSTEM attribute set, on Vista or later.
- Win7 Explorer does not show these junctions in his tree
at all, even if you set all possible show-all settings.
