Mountain Duck + cppcryptfs: All items are shown as symbolic links

[1024mb]

Mountain Duck has updated and now since v5 it uses the cloud integration Windows has, so now instead of mounting the cloud drives to drive letters they are now mounted to directories that work just as OneDrive integration does.

This unfortunately has introduced an issue in XYplorer in that XYplorer shows all files and folders of a cppcryptfs encrypted volume from a Mountain Duck mounted cloud drive as symbolic links.

To reproduce:

• Mount a cloud drive containing a cppcrypt volume with Mountain Duck using the new "Integrated" connect mode.
• Mount the cppcrytpfs volume from the mounted cloud drive to a directory (not a letter, though I haven't tested using a drive letter so idk if that is working well).
• Browse the mounted volume.

If I right click any file shown as symbolic link and choose "Properties", the window doesn't show the item as a symbolic link but rather as a normal file.

Using

Code: Select all

DIR /A:-L

lists nothing so I'm guessing for Windows they are some kind of links? But M$ File Explorer doesn't show the files as symlinks though, they behave exactly as OneDrive files do (an X overlay on non-downloaded files).

Btw all of this doesn't apply to the mounted cloud drive, only to the mounted cppcrypt volume.

I've tested with v4 with "Smart Synchronization" mode and this doesn't happen. Files are shown as normal files, same for directories.

Okay. That will have to wait a bit.
