Can't Browse to Network Drives in Windows #139

Closed ajayre closed 8 years ago

ajayre commented 9 years ago

All my CNC files are on a network share, mapped as a drive in Windows. CAMotics doesn't display or let me choose anything but the C: drive. This is a fundamental problem.

jcoffland commented 9 years ago

In Windows, if I click on My Computer I can see other drivers. Can you show me a screenshot of the problem? Thanks for all the feedback.

ajayre commented 9 years ago

I've uninstalled the application so I can't make any screenshots, sorry. On my PC I have mapped network drives M: and P:. Going to My Computer in CAMotics only showed me C:. I am using Win7 64-bit.

jcoffland commented 9 years ago

Ok, I don't have a network drive to test this with. There may be a limitation on which drives it can access. I don't know why though.

Here's a screenshot of the problem. Windows7 64bit CAMotics 1.0.6 camotics_file_open

As a workaround you should be able to type in \\server\path in to the location bar at the top.

Sorry. The path in that box cannot be edited. It's just a selection field.

Entering obscure paths into boxes isn't very user-friendly. My advice would be to only mark this as closed when a user-friendly solution has been implemented. :)

Ah, I didn't realized I had closed the issue. I believe I've fixed this in the source code. It should be corrected in the next release.

It looks like the commit I made which references this issue automatically closed the issue.
