Scripting Network Shares

If I use a
script in a
catagory entry to set the 2 panes. All looks great. But if I exit XY and reopen it, I get an error in Pane #2. (see below)
If I manually navigate the left and right panes, I can close and open XY all I want without errors.
Code: Select all
$p = get("#800", "DP", "SP");
if $p == "SP" {
#800; //Toggle Dual Panes
}
focus p2;
goto "\\servername\folder\videofiles";
sortby Mod, d;
focus p1;
goto "%userprofile%\Videos";
sortby Name, a;
Location currently not available
\\servername\folder\videofiles\
Also, if I choose the "Go Up" option from that scripted tab, it jumps to \\servername, instead of \\servername\folder.

You say "If I use a script in a catagory entry to set the 2 panes. ..." Are you sure that this is a necessary prerequisite to produce the bug? What if you set the panes locations manually?

As mentioned in the last line

Oh, yes.
I'll check that.

Cannot reproduce.
Since you note the difference at startup, there must be a crucial difference in the configuration files depending on the method (script or manual navigation) after you close the app. Probably in XYplorer.ini or in either of <xydata>\panes\pane.ini. Can you spot that difference?

Can you believe it? Today it's working.
I'll keep an eye on it and if it does it again, I'll check the INI file.
Edit: Sort of working. There is still the issue of "Go Up". When browsing a network share, no matter how deep you are, if you use the "Go Up" action it sends you all the way back to the root instead of simply the parent folder.
Example....
\\server\share\data\folder\deep folder\
[Go Up]
\\server
I anticipated it to go to \\server\share\data\folder\

Error is back.. gonna try and share differences in the pane.ini files. Just posting the sections that differ. Otherwise they all match.
Bad INI file:

Good INI is from manually browsing to the directory. Bad INI is set from a script. The [Tab] area seems different. The bad INI contains "\\servername\folder\videofiles\FullDisc". The FullDisc folder is on Pane 1. How is Pane 2's INI file picking up a folder from Pane 1? For my test, Pane 1 was pointing to C:\Users\mark\Videos\ and had a FullDisc subdirectory in it's listing.
I think i'm getting close to it here. Hope this helps.

See the little "+" here: +\\servername\folder\videofiles
Try to add it to the BAD ini manually and see if it makes it a GOOD ini.

The + didn't do it... but it's that same path that is invalid
Code: Select all
\\servername\folder\videofiles\FullDisc
isn't a subdirectory of videofiles.
FullDisc is a subfolder in Pane #1. Is it somehow pulling that from Pane 1?

Just did another test.. looks like for it to work, it needs to have the + before the UNC and the path includes some file selected in the pane.
+\\server\share\data\filename.txt

I Got It !!!!!! If I use the script in the first post of this thread... and.... then I click a file in the left pane, and click a file in the right pane. Then exit. ALL WORKS. It's the fact that a script has the ability to GoTo a path without selecting a file in that pane. So if you exit XY, it corrupts the path info for that pane. (Disregard this.... even after clicking a file in each pane, it could come back with an error)
If you manually browse, an file entry is always selected for you. That's why manual browsing works all the time. Then once a file entry is selected there's NO way to unbox one of the entries in that list.
Addon: I also tried using a script that set Pane 1 to a C: path, and Pane 2 to a D: path. Both local drives. Exited. Reopened. That worked fine. Seems to be associated to Network paths.
New Test: I used the script from the first post here. It populated the 2 panes. I then swapped the panes and exited. Reopened... and guess what... all works. So swapping the panes updates something.
Hope all this helps.

Adding 'sel' statements to the code didn't help.
Code: Select all
$p = get("#800", "DP", "SP");
if $p == "SP" {
#800; //Toggle Dual Panes
}
focus p2;
goto "\\server\support\videos";
sortby Mod, d;
sel 1; //select first item
focus p1;
goto "%userprofile%\Videos";
sortby Name, a;
sel 1; //select first item

Do I get you right that the "Disregard this..." part invalidates the "I Got It !!!!!!" part?
Whatever, I cannot reproduce it. Mysterious!
I still doubt that the script is a necessary conditions for this.

Yes, you got it right... it started acting up again, even when clicking an entry. The problem mostly seems to be due to using UNCs.
