Show Specified Junctions

Post by hermhart »

I typically keep the setting off for Show Junctions, but would just like the one junction for Dropbox to work. I can see it in my Links since I copied the shortcut there, but when I click on it, it doesn't go anywhere. Is there a way to make exceptions as to which junctions will work/show?

I see your POV, but implementation would be too costly. Junction visibility is now conveniently handled via the FILE_ATTRIBUTE_REPARSE_POINT bit. Replacing this with a list traversal would mean a lot of additional code and a lot of additional CPU work and time in many contexts.

PS: When I click a LNK to a junction in Links, and junctions are hidden, I still get the junction listed in the file list. So it half-works anyway. Only the tree turns grey since the node does not exist in it.
