The next beta will have plenty of debug logging.

I do not understand what you mean. Do you say that this issue cannot be fixed (until the next beta).

That would be to bad because the trial is ending and this issue is a deal breaker.

What do you propose or think?

Just download v22.30.0103 (no-install) and unpack it in some folder: https://www.xyplorer.com/download/xyplo ... nstall.zip

Then when the location is not found, make a screenshot and post it.
Also check the debug log in that moment, paste this into the address bar:

Code: Select all

dlog;
and post the return.

And here is the log that showed after this happened (although it is not very useful, I guess):

XYplorer 22.30.0103 - Windows 10 Windows 10, 64-bit, Release 2009, Build 19042.1237 - 2021-10-07 21:12:58.829

Why does the debug log show nothing? I did not change any setting, only unzip, start and navigate to the shares.

At this moment, I can access share K, L & N but not M (needless to say, I can reach M in Windows Explorer). See this screenshot:

It might be that I found out what the cause of the problem is. When I turn on View → Show Items → Show Hidden Drives, the drives are visible and accessible. Which makes no sense to me because other shares than M to the NAS or Google Drive) are visible and accessible, and in Windows Explorer, all shares are shown in the same way. But I will test this out today and see if this is a consistent solution.

@Elessar

Just to be 100% sure: You only have this problem with mapped shares (M:\...), but not when accessing a normal UNC share on your NAS (\\host\share\...)?

Please try v22.30.0104, and when the error comes again, do another exist "[path]";.

v22.30.0107 will be the last version with debugging. Then it's case closed.

Hello,

Here is a video with the behavior in version 22.30.0104: https://www.screencast.com/t/5P449QG9jev

And below is the information that comes up when I type exist "[path]";

XYplorer 22.30.0104 - Windows 10 Windows 10, 64-bit, Release 2009, Build 19042.1237 - 2021-10-10 13:30:18

By the way, what do you mean precisely by the case is closed?

1) No, you should insert your path in place of [path].

2) If the drive is hidden the behavior you see is expected.

3) In v22.30.0108 the error message should give you a hint about the cause of it: hidden drive.
