Can't remove bad network paths from minitree

Post by ChrisW »

I've got my mini-tree polluted with some typos. I accidentally typed in some bad UNCs, spelling the server name wrong. Now they're in my mini-tree and I'd like to get rid of them because they're too easy to click instead of the correct name.

Normally you can remove nodes from the minitree with the context menu for the node you want to get rid of. However, for these bad nodes I can't bring up a context menu, so there doesn't seem to be any way to get rid of those bad guys.

Not sure but I think, you can remove them from menu "Tools|List management|Servers in my My network places..."

You can remove a node from your MT using the command loadtree. For example, if you wanted to remove \\servre from your MT, this should do the trick:

Code: Select all

loadtree '\\servre', 2;
And if you are on that node (with the unavailable message on List), this will do:

Code: Select all

loadtree <curpath>, 2;
Of course then, you could also just use XY's own menu: View|Mini Tree|Hide Current Folder

And yes, esp. if you cache servers it might be a good idea to use LM to do some clean up.

In the next version you get an additional way to edit the mini tree... :)
