USB Drive Not Showing in Tree

Post by shimamiya »

I have two USB drives plugged in, but one doesn't show in the tree. The only difference is that the second drive is a Sata drive inside an enclosure. How come it doesn't show?

I have many other file explorers and it shows in all of them. I can't see anything in the settings that would cause it not to show. Anyone else have this issue?

The enclosure might identify itself as a floppy disk or hidden drive, try selecting those in this dialog:

Configuration | General | Tree and List | Items in Tree and List | Select Items...

If you plugged it in while XY was already running, try manually refresh tree Ctrl+Shift+F4

Thanks. Tried all those already and nothing works, it still isn't recognised.

Ah, update. It's because I have the tree set as the mini tree. For the mini tree it doesn't display.

Just go to the drive and it will be automatically added to the Mini Tree.
