What's the behavor if you type \\nas\Videos in the explorer bar? /needinfo

[trajano]

Stays in explorer and shows the Videos folder on the NAS share

Really strange. In order to avoid misunderstanding can you post a screenshot of the result of PT Run that opens the browser? Thank you!

I was expecting it to return me the folder like this

Or this

[davidegiacometti]

The result that opens the browser is provided by the URI Handler plugin. The result you are expecting from the Folder plugin should work only if you type a valid folder in your NAS.

It basically works but doesn't enumerates the network shares in your NAS:

• \\nas - display no results
• \\nas\photo - display results

[trajano]

Yeah you're right it only fails on \\nas but it is okay for \\nas\videos I just type \\nas out of habit so I didn't notice it. But still \\nas should work since it's \\ rather than //
