Problem: External BlueRay Drive not visible in XYP - Only in built-in Windows Explorer. Why?

Occasionally I use an external BluRay Drive on my computer.
After plugging in the USB (3.1) cable the drive appears (in Windows 10) in Windows Explorer.
But it does NOT appear in XYPlorer v28
Why?
The drive is working fine for reading and writing (burning) BlueRay medias.
So the hardware isn't a problem.
Even after a reboot the drive is not visible.

Run the script, show the output
Code: Select all
$t = (getkey("MiniTree", "Settings") == 1) ? "MiniTree" : "Tree";
$s = (getkey("LockTree", "General") == 1) ? "Locked" : "Unlocked";
$c = (getkey("ShowCDROMDrives", "Settings") == 1) ? "[x] CD-ROM" : "[ ] CD-ROM";
$p = (getkey("ShowPortableDevices", "Settings") == 1) ? "[x] Portable" : "[ ] Portable";
text "$t | $s | $c | $p";

Thank you for your suggestion. I would like to do it.
But how do I run the script?

Menu - Scripting - Run Script...?

Nice script, but it might not work well for a non-scripter, the script will create a menu if you just copy and paste it as it.

Even if you don't use "SELECT ALL" on top of the script box you need to remove the indenting spaces on purpose to get that behavior

Whoops, you're right. I had the
ScriptUnindent=1 tweak in my config.

I agree. I think it can go now.

I think the default CFA should add extensions like .xys or .snippet to make it easier to share, run, or install scripts, and perhaps even have a .udc extension for installing UDC that triggers a dialog?
