[Fixed] UNC & Go Up function
Posted: 06 Jan 2011 18:18
by EnjoyRC
To navigate up to the parent directory, I have my tabs / On dbl-click action set to "Go Up". If I'm several folders deep in a UNC path on a server and click "Go Up", it takes me all the way up to the server. I even tried the toolbar "Up (Backspace)" action, same behavior. Backspace key does the same thing.
Example:
\\server\share\folder\folder\folder
Click Go Up
\\server
Any ideas?

Works fine here. Could it be that the server is not available?

You know me... I test every way I can before reporting something.
If I'm browsing a server, and drilling deep into it's folders, then as soon as I try "Go Up" it jumps to the top "\\server". I've tested this when accessing NAS devices, Win2003 Servers, Win2008 Servers. Same behavior each time.
This has done this for quite some time. Local install and portable. I have actually reported this here in the forums before. Couldn't find the post to continue the thread.
Is there anything I can test for you?

Do you see the complete breadcrumb menu on the Toolbar "Up" button?

Yes, when I click the down arrow to the right of the "Up" button, I can see multiple parts.
Example view:
Computer
Network
\\server
\\server\share
\\server\share\folder
\\server\share\folder\folder
\\server\share\folder\folder\folder <<< BOLD

Looks good.
Out of ideas.

Oh, thanks, I already had a strong feeling that I had heard the same thing not long ago... so it is a non-existing path again? Somehow the breadcrumb mixes the panes?... I wonder how to reproduce this...

I don't know about non-existing. Because I can start at \\server and double click my way to a few levels deep. Then when Going Up, you'd think that the path that I just came from would be available.

Is the path fully visible in the tree?

Ahhh.... no it's not.
Keep in mind the way NTFS works too. One may not have rights all the way up and down the path.
Example: My user directory is located @ \\server\users\MARK
I have to go directly to that directory due to NTFS restrictions. I cannot browse \\server\users directory. (Access is denied). but if I type in \\server\users\mark, then I get to my directory. And I can double click deeper folders from there. Problem comes in when I'm deep in my allowed area, and try to Go Up, it tries to jump to \\server.
The entire time I'm doing all this UNC navigation, nothing is going on in the Tree View.

How does the branch look in the tree? If it looks like this it should work (go up from subofMark to MARK):

If I have my 2 panes set to [Left = C:] and [Right = D:], as I change panes the tree switches to display the tree of the location of that pane. If I change one of those panes to point to \\server\somewhere, they tree does not change at all. Does not show the server at all.

Is your tree locked?
