In v2.07 relative paths containing %COMMANDER_PATH% suddenly open in an explorer window, and I can't get them to open in TC, I've disabled Folder Menu to open on desktop & explorer?

Hi,

is there a possiblility to "automount" removable drives like USB-Sticks (at least the root directory of them, or even better some special folders like "Sound") in the main menu of FolderMenu2 (v2.07).
as I have sometimes more than one removable drive inserted (one stick, one removable HD and an ipod e.g.), there seems to be no simple way, because the pathes are relative and the drive letters change depending on the order they were inserted.
Hope you got my problem and hope somebody could aid.

Cheers

I'm using Folder Menu to quick access some folders, the ones with full path like c:\utilities open in the focused TC panel when I click on it, but "%COMMANDER_PATH%\..\..\Downloads\" opens in an explorer window, and it should open in TC's panel, since that's where I called Folder Menu from.

Hi Rexx,

I added a lot of entries (approx. 60) to my foldermenu - a lot of them are UNC-Pathes to some pathes on our network. (not all of the pathes might be available all the time ...)

Starting up of FolderMenu takes a loooong time (more than two minutes) showing "loading favorites". After the startup phase everthing works fine, if I'm only using the menu entries.
But opening the "Options > Favorites" takes the same loooong amount of time to build up the tree for editing ...

It looks like you are parsing for the pathes on startup/configuration - is this right? (Is this neccessary to determine the predefined icons for the entries?)
In the beginning I also used separate Icons for a lot of my entries. To test whether this causes the delay, I removed all my icons and used the default ones -> no change in loading time. I also enabled the option "Do not use any menu icons" - without any change in loading time.

Any idea how to speed up the loading/configuration time?

I did some checking, and it might be the because I had quotes on the path in the TC ini file, that wha causing some strange behavior, one time it would open the path in TC, and then it would open it in explorer.

I deleted the config.xml, set it up again and now it seems to work.

Thanx.

One small issue when using Folder Menu together with SpeedCommander (http://www.speedproject.de/enu/speedcommander/index.html).

Version used: 2.08

I have an entry for SpeedCommander under the Applications tab (Name: SpeedCommander | Type: Match | Class: SC12MainFrame) and an entry for the file manager path (D:\Users\xxx\Tools\SpeedCommander\SpeedCommander.exe).

Win + Q shows Menu 1.5
Win + W shows Menu 2

When I'm actively working with SpeedCommander Win + W (Menu 2) works flawlessly but Win + Q (Menu 1.5) has an issue:
I'm getting an error message every time I want to switch to a different directory

As an example I'm trying to switch from C:\ to D:\Images

"The Path is not available.

'\Images' can't be accessed.

The command can't be executed because the connection was disconnected"

The drive letter is missing in this error message.

Maybe that is causing the problem...

Maybe you can have a look at his behaviour?

Regards,
HIghend

I am using Folder Menu together with Unreal Commander. http://x-diesel.com/

There is an entry for Unreal Commander under the Applications tab and an entry for the file manager path. It works smoothly at the beginning of starting UnrealCMD, however, after working on other programs for a while, I could not get into the Favorite Folder or Add Favorite Folder in UnrealCMD. But the Folder Menu itself still works with other programs, and if I restart UnrealCMD, it works again. Then after some time, it does not work again...It seems to happen randomly. On my computer, it happens everyday.

Another problem is that when I use the menu 2 (WIN+W), UnrealCMD is brought to front, but does not change the folder to I want to go. These two problems might be relevant.

Could you please take a look on this issue? Thank you!

I'm using Palm Desktop 4.0.1. When I edit a memo, I do so inside a dialog box. When I middle-click inside the dialog box, it causes Folder Menu to appear, instead of letting me scroll through the text I'm editing. There's no reason for Folder Menu to appear in this dialog box, since it's just a text-editing box. How do I get Folder Menu to stop appearing there?
