VmWare Shared Folders and Auto-refresh

[admin]

But those entries are listed in the file list?

[highend]

The files/folders of a share? Yeah, they are, I can browse them normally (once they are visible in the tree)

[admin]

No, when you select \\vmware-host in the tree, what is shown in the list?

[highend]

Location currently not available
\\vmware-host\

[admin]

Try this:

Code: Select all

enumshellfolderitems "\\vmware-host";

[highend]

That's correct? There is one share? Then there is hope...

[highend]

The real shared folders are inside that one

\\vmware-host\Shared Folders\{shared folder 1}
\\vmware-host\Shared Folders\{shared folder 2}
etc.

Can you show the return of exist "\\vmware-host\Shared Folders";?

Looks good

Hi,
it seems the issue is (partially) resolved with _23.00.0203_beta.
It's now possible to browse \\vmware-host\Shared Folders\

But what prompted me to open this post remains : selecting a file or folder in a shared folder automatically ticks "Suspend Auto-Refresh" in the view menu and so there is no refresh following a copy to or move from a shared folder. Delete works fine though (possibly always did).

[admin]

1) Is this ticked? Configuration | General | Refresh, Icons, History | Auto-Refresh | Include network locations
2) You mean that problem only appears under \\vmware-host shares?
3) Selecting a file in the file list automatically ticks "Suspend Auto-Refresh"? What is shown on the Info Panel | Properties tab in that moment?

[highend]

1.) It's ticked (default in a fresh instance)
2.) Yepp, on a normal network share it doesn't happen
3.) Nothing. "Suspend Auto-Refresh" immediately kicks in when you click on \\vmware-host in the tree (and all entries underneath it). You don't need to select a file / folder in a share for this to happen

But that happens on any server, not just \\vmware-host .
