shared icon in OneDrive status column
shared icon in OneDrive status column
In Explorer the OneDrive status column shows an additional icon beside the sync status icon--a tiny person--if the item is shared. There is also a notification in the hover box that the item is shared. I see the sync status icons in the XY OneDrive status column but not the share icon. Should this be appearing in XY or can it be made to? Thanks

Re: shared icon in OneDrive status column
I know, but I have not found a way to determine that status.
?? Do you have a screenshot?There is also a notification in the hover box that the item is shared.

Re: shared icon in OneDrive status column
Turns out the hover box only appears when pointing at the blank space in the status column next to the icons and is the same as the item name hover box. No hover box pointing directly at icons. Sorry for any confusion. But, there in line 3 is "Activity: Shared". Thanks

Thanks, "Activity: Shared", that's easy. I'll make a note for the next version.

Re: shared icon in OneDrive status column
In the absence of documentation, we have to do some trial and error. Could you check if any of these properties correlate with the presence of this shared icon?
Select a file with the shared icon, then paste
Code: Select all
echo <prop System.IsShared>;
echo <prop System.SharingStatus>;
echo <prop System.StorageProviderSharingStatus>;
echo <prop System.StorageProviderSharingStatus>;
intro the address bar and press ENTER. What is returned? And what is returned for files without the shared icon?FAQ | XY News RSS | XY Twitter
Re: shared icon in OneDrive status column
Nothing useful apparently:
--returns "false" for all folders and files
--returns "2" for all folders and files
--returns nothing (blank Echo dialog) for all folders and files
I checked for folders shared both TO another person and FROM another person. I checked for a file shared TO another person, and discovered that files shared FROM another person oddly don't appear to have the "Add shortcut to My files" option available on the Onedrive web interface (under "Shared" where they appear). Neither does "Activity: Shared" appear in Explorer in the hover box for shared files that have been shared (only folders).
Since you're thinking about Onedrive integration, it would also be helpful if the folder icon in the list and on tabs could take on a custom Onedrive icon as used in Explorer. Thanks

Re: shared icon in OneDrive status column
Hm, bad. Here are my last two (not really hopeful here):
Thanks for testing anyway.
Code: Select all
echo <prop System.StorageProviderUIStatus>;
echo <prop System.SharedWith>;

Re: shared icon in OneDrive status column
Too bad. That leaves me with "Activity: Shared". Totally easy, BUT: only works with English Windows. :\

Re: shared icon in OneDrive status column
Looks like "Activity: Shared" was just a lucky punch:
https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/off ... 0718c36c2c
It's not the way to go.
So, currently I cannot add this shared icon because Microsoft does not tell me how to determine the shared status.
