1) You know that from the status bar message?

2) Mini or Maxi Tree?

Yes, I have seen the enumerating message in the status bar. Maxi (I never use mini).

But, as I wrote you in PM, forget it - the experience in windows explorer is (*almost*) the same. Better said:

The fact that they are not appearing in the List is the same. In MS WE if I write my path in the AB, I get there without problems. Maybe just this could be made better in XY (in combination with a tabset use, whose one tab leads to such a location).

Here are two scripts that use different methods of enumerating the network. In theory they should return the same but you never know. Windows 10 e.g. sometimes (Windows 10 is not fully predictable) dislikes NetServerEnum.

Code: Select all

text get("network", 0); //use shell

Code: Select all

text get("network", 1); //use NetServerEnum

Yes, here they are also not returning the same (just almost the same), but in both results the server in question is missing. Obviously one has to count on the possibility that access to a location entered by hand (or defined in a tabset) could succeed, although there is no way that any enumeration sees that server. But well, I am not a network specialist...

Also on a 2nd try? The whole thing looks like there is just some lag...

Well, at my place the problematic server is never seen in a resulting list. Also, results from these SC appear instantly, while normal server enumeration lasts some time (but then still does not include the problematic server).

Nevertheless, with 20.30.0015 you have achieved it - the target location file list appears without any error message displayed.

Thanks for your time!! :beer: :appl:
