Folder choosers don't show network folders #29

Closed AB-Kent closed 4 years ago

AB-Kent commented 4 years ago

The folder chooser used by all addins on Windows is utils::choose.dir. This chooser shows This PC as the only top-level folder; it does not show network drives that are not mounted with a drive letter.

This seems to be by design; the docs for choose.dir say, "To workaround a bug, on Vista and later only folders under ‘Computer’ are accessible via the widget."

As a workaround, to access network drives from phenoptrReports addins, first map the drive to a letter.
