Support for Portable Devices

PS: And doesn't it auto-refresh? It does here.

That was what happened here in my single quick non-confirming test of this. XY refreshed to Computer instead of the removed drive.

Also fresh?

Nope, tree jumps to root "MyPC" followed by list update.

Arghh, after the fresh instance is closed the parent one doesn't want to crash anymore.

Uarghh, after restarting XY it's back again.

It did, just only once (I already had written my message).
But never again...ever since the crashing ..... Could it be related?

Hard to say. We are at the dark side of Windows. I will try some other devices to repro it...

OK, I'll shut off my machine now.

Could not crash any of my devices.

Could not crash any of my devices.

Give me your devices.

Since it didn't crash with a freshed instance, any idea what setting/data section could be the culprit? Where could I start to look for?

[admin]

Not really. Just 2 faint hopes:

1) Maybe this recently fixed bug?

Code: Select all

    ! Portable Devices: Custom Columns could leak into lists on Portable 
      Devices. Fixed.

In your current tab go to a PC location and then back to the PD. This should remove all Custom Columns (if there were any).

2) Turn off auto-refresh. Does F5 crash it then?

Perhaps the delay until Feb 23rd for v15.00 will allow the necessary time to get the portable devices icon support to the same level as Explorer?

Also, the issue mentioned by someone else a few pages back in this thread, about unlocking a connected device and seeing no automatic refresh, is still present in the latest builds.

1. icon support? Got a link to that report?
2. No, I could not repro that.

I already replied that I stick with the current icon.

It was the "PD 1.0 - Now".

I can reproduce this, but I'm pretty sure it works as expected since Suspend Auto-Refresh seems to be forced to enabled on Computer and within the portable device. Even in a fresh instance when I enable Auto-Refresh and Include Network locations and Include removable drives I cannot disable the suspension. Though this really confuses me since Computer does refresh for new drives even though it should be suspending auto-refresh.


One new discovery - XY will resume browsing a portable device which can adversely affect the startup time. This should instead show a message similar to network locations or searches.
