Some Network devices not showing in the tree list

Post by Ganesha0581 »

Hello,

I tried to google my issue and to check in this forum if I could find an answer to my problem but in vain...
There were some case close to mine but either the solution did not entirely helped me or it did not correspond to my case.

There are several items on my company network but few of them do not show in XYplorer while in the windows explorer I see everything:

a NAS
a printer
and two other thing I have no idea what it could be.

Note: I connected as mapped network drive some of the folders of the NAS, so I can see them in xyplorer.

I am using the XYPlorer ver 18.50.0300 in a Windows 7 pro x64 environment.
I tried to check the boxes Check existence of subfolders in tree > in network locations as well (which helped me a bit as I was listing half of the network devices actually present).

I tried to check / uncheck the features:
Assume that servers are available
Pre-check availability of servers
Cache network servers

no luck so far...

Is there any one having some idea on how to get the last items to be listed in xyplorer ?

thank you in advance.

kind regards.

I have the exact same problem. All other file managers work fine (freecommander, xplorer2, windows)

Here are three different scripts (run them through the address bar) to enumerate the network:

Code: Select all

::text get("network", 0);

Code: Select all

::text get("network", 1);

Code: Select all

::enumshellfolderitems 61;
Any of them works better for you?

Just to show a comparison...

Code: Select all

::text get("network", 0);
\\UK-DT-01

Code: Select all

::text get("network", 1);
\\UK-DT-01
\\ODROID-XU4

Code: Select all

::enumshellfolderitems 61;

FRITZ!WLAN Repeater 1750E;Andere Geräte

The network connected printer is offline atm, so it won't be visible in this list

I guess people would like to see a (maybe user filterable) list of these items
in their tree, e.g. it's possible to double click several items, which will then
open their ip / port address in the browser:

Code: Select all

FRITZ!Box 7490
FRITZ!WLAN Repeater 1750E
ODROID-XU4: Mini DLNA Server
etc.

Thanks!

Is this only a problem of the tree? I.e. can you enter an path on those devices into the address bar and the list shows the contents?

This would only be possible for items, that are really UNC network paths
like \\ODROID-XU4, \\UK-DT-01, all others are normally urls, e.g.:
network.png
network.png (56.35 KiB) Viewed 697 times

XY only supports UNC network paths.
