XYplorer Beta Club
Not sure if this is a bug or what...
If I try to open a network share entering \\host\folder in the location bar and the share requires a password, xyplorer won't prompt me for one, but just show an empty list. If after that I open the same share with "classic" explorer (hit start/run, enter \\host\folder, enter password) and do a refresh in xyplorer nothing happens. Am I doing something wrong?
Also, trying to open an administration share (say \\host\c$) I get a list showing a mysterious "Working" folder and opening that I get to the content of c$.
What's wrong?

What happens when you restart XY after you entered the password? Still empty?agnul wrote:Not sure if this is a bug or what...

That folder must be there... XY does not add mysterious folders anywhere.-

Re: Network share passwords and a mysterious "working&a
Restarting xyplorer the shared folder works fine. Not sure it's an xyplorer "bug" though, I've seen this happen with other file managers as well (xyplorer is by far the best one, of course).quickest admin in the world wrote:What happens when you restart XY after you entered the password?

Whoops, explorer shows the same "working" folder, I'll go looking somewhere else for the reason.That folder must be there... XY does not add mysterious folders anywhere.
