address bar navigation through symbolic links

[mvincenzes]

XYPlorer Version: 28.30.1300
Windows: all of 7, 10, 11
Screen Scaling: ??? unknown, can't imagine that it matters for this

type, for example the following in the address bar
v:\NAS\Audio\Downloads

then display will not change
v:\NAS\Audio is a symbol link (with mklink) to \\mvDisk3\Audio.

typing "v:\NAS\Audio" will show the proper directory, and then I can click on "Downloads" in the list
and list will switch to the proper Downloads dir.

Why cant I navigate through a symbolic link in the address bar? It works with windows explorer

This should be checked: Configuration | General | Controls & More | Miscellaneous | Resolve junctions

Thanks, resolve junctions is checked / set
I can add that even as I am typing the path, I see the popup suggestions of the folders in the directory, I can select out of the pick list,
etc decending into the folder structure. But when I pick the final choice and hit "return" nothing happens, the cursor stays in the address box, hitting "return" does nothing.

Did you already try to uncheck this setting?

[mvincenzes]

I had not tried unchecking, but doing so does fix the behavior to what I wanted.
I want to keep the logical name, not resolve.

my application is that I have several machines and a NAS and I have set up the same
link structure on all of them, both in windows, (with V:\) and the WLS2 and Mac OS with a /volume/...
set of links.

Thanks for the help.
