Coloured Folders on Network

Post by flourgrader »

Hi, I am using XYplorer 19.90.
I use a colour coding for my folders on my PC and
on my Networked PC and External storage.
On my stand alone pc the colour coding works fine !!

When XYplorer looks across the network it does not
read the Desktop.ini, RF13042019074548521133292.ico
which contains the information about
colour of folder,size,Classic
Hence it just shows a standard windows 10 Folder (Yellow)
Do you think this could be looked at in the next upgrade of XYplorer ?

Yes, I have seen the same here. Some network paths don't seem to allow setting the READONLY attribute. I don't know why.

That the READONLY attribute is important here is a peculiarity of Windows. They made it that only folders with that attribute set will use the data in Desktop.ini.
