Network Files not visible in latest version
Network Files not visible in latest version
I am having a problem with no files showing in my network with XYplorer v9.2.
The files are visible in Explorer as you can see from the first screenshot. Files in subdirectories are visible.
Older versions of XyPlorer show the files just not the newer version.
Screenshots attached.
Any thoughts?

Re: Network Files not visible in latest version
Version v9.0 is the last version that I can see the files on the Server.
Please note that it is not only this directory...it is all directories immediately below \\SERVER

Re: Network Files not visible in latest version
Cannot explain. I did not change code related to network browsing for a long time.
To rule out any configuration factors: could you test it with a fresh unregistered copy of 9.20, please?

Donald,
I have downloaded the no install version of v9.2. No luck. I have tried v9.2 on two different machines a Windows 7 32bit and Windows 7 64bit...without luck. The last known working version is Xyplorer v9.00.0207
For the record, the Server is Windows Home Server v6.0.2423.0

Re: Network Files not visible in latest version
Hm.
Why are folders listed and not files?
Why does no other user report this?
I have no answers at the moment.

Re: Network Files not visible in latest version
The files in the folders under this directory are visible just not the top of the tree.
e.g
[\\SERVER\Music] shows no files.
[\\SERVER\Music\iTunes Media] shows all files.
This behavior is consistent across all shares and on all computers accessing these directories with XyPlorer v9.2
Mapping a drive shows the files correctly.

Looks like a rights thing. Could you check the rights of those folders?Pulinski wrote:The files in the folders under this directory are visible just not the top of the tree.

Re: Network Files not visible in latest version
Well I can see the files in Windows Explorer. I can see and use the files in the directory.
I have tried running XY as admin, deleting permissions etc. I created a new share called \\SERVER\Test so as to not do some file damage. If I did not have rights to these directories...why can I see the files in Windows Explorer and with XY v 9.0.
I just don't know what to do...I am pulling my hair out over this one.

Re: Network Files not visible in latest version
Same here. I pass this path to the normal browse procedure that's used for all paths in XY. There's no special treatment whatsoever. I wonder what in the world could cause the fact that it shows folders but not files...Pulinski wrote:Well I can see the files in Windows Explorer. I can see and use the files in the directory.

What happens when you search the path? Does it also skip just the files of the top folder?

Donald,
What would be the best way to test permissions on the folder?
