Autocomplete UNC Path Names

[slupmada]

Hello,
I have been using XYplorer for 5 years and still cannot get path name autocomplete to work for UNC paths. If I start typing a UNC path in the address bar, a list of recent locations appears in the drop down, but that is it.

If I type in a local path (C:\), autocomplete works great, a list of the all the subfolders appears in the drop down.

I have confirmed AutoCompleteOnUNC=1 in the XYplorer.ini configuration file, but it seems to make no difference. Has anyone gotten this to work? Are there other settings I need to change to make this work? Any help would be GREATLY apprerciated!

The current beta works for me (with the tweak set)...

What may be a configuration thing (no time to test this): In the fresh instance the share name doesn't autocomplete (but everything after it), while in my configured instance even the share names autocomplete...

Thank you for the prompt response! In your example, when you start typing the "u" of "users", does the drop down menu disappear (mine does)? Is there a way to continue autocomplete with each typed character? I've set AutoCompleteMatchFromBeginning=2, as I understood the comment to mean anything other than 0 is match anywhere. Would you be able to share (without registration information, of course) your configuration file?

Thanks Again!

Yeah

No clue, sorry. But ofc this would make sense

I've set AutoCompleteMatchFromBeginning=2, as I understood the comment to mean anything other than 0 is match anywhere

Judging from the changelog entry, 0 is everywhere, 1 = from the beginning. it doesn't mention any other value

I've just tried it with 0 and 1 and I see no real difference...

Would you be able to share (without registration information, of course) your configuration file?

That's a fresh instance in the animation, there wasn't any configuration done apart from setting the value for AutoCompleteOnUNC so sharing this doesn't yield anything because you can get the exact same config by using a fresh instance

With AutoCompleteOnUNC=1 it starts autocompleting once you are deeper than share level, i.e. from here onwards: \\server\share\

If you have servers defined in List Management - Servers in Network Folder
Can you include them in the autocomplete list for the server part?

Any idea which setting is responsible (if it is a setting at all) or why does XY show all defined shares in the drop-down in my configured instance (which it doesn't do in a fresh one)?

[admin]

Just checked that: If the server is known to XY (either it's listed in the tree or in the list) then it will look for its shares and present them in the dropdown, otherwise it won't (because browsing a non-existing server can take endless frozen time).

Good to know, thanks!
