Re: Drives not updated after mappings updated
Tested on Windows 10 and works fine. I don't see what could have changed or what I could change.

Re: Drives not updated after mappings updated
Too bad - but I understand...
But in that case, my earlier question gets interesting:
BTW, just for giggles, I asked XYguru (and he lied again):
But in that case, my earlier question gets interesting:
If there was any macro command that would update the drives bar, I could /feed that - but I've not found one. Did I miss anything?...is there perhaps a way I could force XY to refresh from my mapping script?

How can I refresh the list of drives?
GPT
In XYplorer, to refresh the list of drives, you can use the scripting command refreshdrives(). This command updates the list of available drives in the application, reflecting any recent changes like added or removed drives.
Here's an example of how you might use it in a script:
refreshdrives(); // This will refresh the list of drives in XYplorer
After running this script, XYplorer will re-scan the available drives on the system and update the drive list accordingly. This is particularly useful if you've recently connected a new external drive or network share, or if a drive has been removed, and you want XYplorer to recognize these changes without having to restart the application.
For more specific or advanced usage, you might want to consult the scripting documentation in XYplorer, or explore relevant discussions and examples on the XYplorer message board, as they often contain valuable insights and user-contributed scripts. My knowledge includes information up to April 2023, so for the most current features or updates, referring to the latest documentation or community resources is advisable.

Re: Drives not updated after mappings updated
refreshdrives() ... crazy, it sounds so XY-ish, I almost feel compelled to add it just because that word is missing.
I'll consider that toolbar refresh.

Re: Drives not updated after mappings updated
Yes, I had the same thought. But refresh is complex and there are countless parameters. Anyway, I add a primitive refresh command and hope no one wants refinements

Re: Drives not updated after mappings updated
I'm happy (no, VERY happy actually) to report that "refresh" helped to solve my issue!
