Drives in Catalog?

Laughing Man · Post by **Laughing Man** » 23 Jan 2007 06:27

I put the addresses to a couple drives (local ones) in the catalog, however when I click them it says

"F:\

Is currently hidden"

It says this for all my drives I put in there.

It works fine for me. How did you add it to catalog?

Works ok for me also...does the Config setting for "show hidden drives" or "show hidden folders" on General tab affect this? But I vaguely recall another thread about a possibly similar subject recently too...maybe in Bug Reports forum?

Update:Found it! http://www.xyplorer.com/xyfc/viewtopic.php?t=1235

Are you using latest beta vers? Just so we know where you are in time...

no, I'm not using the beta version. I'm using the last stable version on the main page. Should I switch over to the beta?

I'm also running XP.

If I click "show system files and folders it works fine". Though I had it turned off because in some folders there's to much junk I don't need to look at (like in the music folder it has all the album art in there)

It's up to you, but many of here like to keep current with those little fixes, mods and enhancements that result...and I'd read this (if you haven't) about using beta's: http://www.xyplorer.com/xyfc/viewtopic.php?t=1311

If you are using the forum (aka "Beta Club") then yes. Else you are out of sync with the discussion.

I'd personally slightly modify this to say: If you're planning to become a regular contributor/poster here, then yes...as we (speaking for myself and presumably others) still respond to new users who are having issues with official release, as there can sometimes be "how do I do whatever in XY?" questions or even bugs that have not been found yet that occur in last "official" which are still valid...

However, sometimes new users will post a "bug" which was known to have been fixed in a beta, so if you want to stay "official", please at least read the beta notes (and older threads) to see if it was fixed before adding a new thread...Thanks!

Agreed.

k, I use to into testing beta software and firmware (which probably wasn't a good idea). Though I eventually got tired of fixing whatever was wrong or a dissapeared feature so then I started to stick to official builds.

Though looking at the changelog of the beta it seems it's just minor things so I'll grab that.
