If "Find following folder links" is looping

[RalphM]

Hi Donald

Well now it's in the right forum I guess...

Code: Select all

  .
v3.60.0112 - 04.02.05 22:26
  .
      Notes:
      - "Follow folder links" is independent of "Include subfolders" and 
        both can be freely combined at your choice.
      - be aware of the possibility to end up in a loop by having 
        links target to each other or to themselves. If this appears to 
        happen, press ESC and check your link logic.

Murphy's law, it happened as expected - I ended up in a loop, since I had three folders, linked as follows:

...\XXX\Folder_A
Link to Folder_B
...
...\YYY\Folder_B
Link to Folder_C
...
...\ZZZ\Folder_C
Link to Folder_B

So, when running a find in Folder_A following folder links, it did the loop A -> B -> C -> B -> C....

Tip: I made it work and quit the loop, by adding "ZZZ" to the exclude folder list. Now it still finds all matching files in A and B, but skips C.

BTW This new switch is great, thanks again
