a certain directory is not reachable from the catalog
a certain directory is not reachable from the catalog
Hello.
My OneDrive folder can be accessed from the tree view, but when I save this directory to any catalog, I cannot get to it by clicking on it. It is as if the catalog saving code has save the wrong thing. Furthermore, the name it chooses contains Chinese characters...
Could not find:

Ideas? I am attaching a screenshot.

Re: a certain directory is not reachable from the catalog
How exactly did you add that folder to the catalog?
Show the properties of that entry (right click it, context menu, properties) -> Screenshot
XY version?
Which OS?

Here you go.
XY version 18.50
I don't remember the process of adding the folder to the catalog. I did it over a year ago.

Re: a certain directory is not reachable from the catalog
Just to make sure I knew how it was added, I removed it from the catalog and added it back.
I did it with "Insert new item(s) here", from current tree node.
I am running Windows 10.
thanks,

Re: a certain directory is not reachable from the catalog
Does it make a difference when you untick Configuration | Controls and More | Miscellaneous | Resolve junctions?

Hi.
When I uncheck that option, the problem goes away.

Re: a certain directory is not reachable from the catalog
Aha, thanks. Looks like MS had the glorious idea to abuse the FILE_ATTRIBUTE_REPARSE_POINT bit for their OneDrive contents, not sure yet if that's a bug or sheer madness.
Anyway, I can try to work around that issue now.

Don, don't get to carried away with OneDrive changes. There are changes due in this Fall's Creators update due October 17 especially in Files on Demand. https://www.windowslatest.com/2017/09/2 ... rs-update/

I know. MS is wading thru chaos ATM, let's hope they emerge intact.

Re: a certain directory is not reachable from the catalog
As an ex-msft engineer that once worked on NT and Windows - I can tell you that Microsoft is not a monolith. Unless there has been a reorg that rolled the OncDrive guys into the OS team, It is likely that the OneDrive people have never even met the file system team and they can make mistakes just like any other 3rd party app vendor.
For example, the OS team warned the world for years that persisting data outside of the user directory was a no-no and at some point it would be made impossible. Still when they started enforcing it on Vista, it left some MS applications flat-footed, just like everyone else.

Re: a certain directory is not reachable from the catalog
Thanks for the insight!
Does the current beta (v18.50.0012) fix the original issue for you (even when "Configuration | Controls and More | Miscellaneous | Resolve junctions" is ticked)?

Re: a certain directory is not reachable from the catalog
When I run the newest beta and re-check "resolved junctions", the issue returns.
This problem first came up months ago so it is likely while I was still running the retail Windows release. I would venture to guess that it was a OneDrive release that hosed us.
That said, I am in the Windows Insider Program and surprised to see that I am on the "fast track" for releases. I am on version 1709 build 17017.1000. I think I will be "slowing" that down.
XYplorer is 18.50.0012.

Re: a certain directory is not reachable from the catalog
Makes sense, I could have guessed that myself since at the beginning of the thread it's visible that you are not using the OneDrive default path. The next beta should handle that.patstyles wrote:When I run the newest beta and re-check "resolved junctions", the issue returns.
