Drive set as Hidden + System item? #61

Open DavidBevi opened 9 months ago

DavidBevi commented 9 months ago

Issue: my D: drive (internal) is not shown unless I enable both "Show Hidden Items" and "Show System Items". Expected behavior: each drive/partition should be shown, like C: does (am I missing an option to do it already?)

Workaround: D: is always accessible by typing "D:" into the address bar, even when the drive is hidden. EF_hidden_D_drive

Also, what is the "Total" in the bottom bar counting?

This is odd. Drives are initialized with FromDriveInfo method (Model/FileModel.cs) and there is no code in this method that sets IsHidden or IsSystem fields. The only thing I can think of is that the drive was mounted while FileExplorer was already running. Is that the case? In addtion, do you have a chance to debug and show me how these fields are set? You can set a breakpoint at GetDrives method inside Helpers/FileSystemHelper.cs and follow from there.

It shows how many folders or files are inside the current folder. This can be confusing in the "Content View" because if you expand a folder, its subfolders and files are also included in the count.

[...] the drive was mounted while FileExplorer was already running.

PC mounts it while booting, does FE load before that? I'll try disabling FE's auto load + load it later to rule out that option and see if anything changes.

Maybe, but I don't know. I just started learning C. I'll try to do it tomorrow, feel free to help me if you want quick answers, but I want to learn it anyway so you'll get it eventually 😉

No, normally FileExplorer runs after booting. However, if the problem goes away when you exit and restart FileExplorer (from the system tray icon), it must be related to an issue with booting.

You can use dnSpy: https://github.com/dnSpy/dnSpy But it may seem complicated if you've never used it before

  1. The problem persists after I exit and restart FileExplorer from sys tray.

  2. Thanks for the tip. Yes, debugging seems daunting, that's why I procrastinated. I'm checking out dnSpy rn
