Issue with Explorer++ 1.4.0.831 x64
Posted: Fri Aug 30, 2019 11:20 pm
Hello David.
I've been using latest stable Explorer++ (1.3.5 x64) for some time (in portable mode), on Windows 10 x64 and couple of days ago I've upgrade to latest dev version (1.4.0.831 x64).
I am using it as explorer replacement.
There's issue with opening shortcuts to drives. I have shortcut to D: drive and latest explorer++ (1.4.0.831 x64) is opening but going to default new tab folder (This PC).
Same issue is happening on Windows 7 x64.
Latest stable 1.3.5 x64 doesn't have this issue.
This can be reproduced from cmd, for example:
start d:
which should open explorer++ in D drive.
On the other hand, if I type in cmd:
start %APPDATA%
this works fine and opens C:\Users\User\AppData\Roaming
Also opening this from cmd:
"C:\Program Files\explorer++\Explorer++.exe" "d:"
works as expected (opens D drive).
If I create shortcut to some dir (for example C:\Windows), it works fine. This also works:
start c:\Windows
So looks like issue is just with opening root of drives.
