BUG Access archive from desktop

Post by *rilley »

When you access an archive from desktop[//DESKTOP] it works

But when you come back[UP KEY] it comes the [c:\Users\Rilley\Desktop\] not [//DESKTOP]

Hello, rilley.

As you may know the Windows desktop folder, displayed by Total Commander as \\desktop, is a virtual folder, not a real one.
The Windows desktop folder actually lists all objects which can be found inside the 2 physical folders:
+ C:\Users\Rilley\Desktop
+ C:\Users\All Users\Desktop

The archive file will be stored inside the physical folder c:\Users\Rilley\Desktop.
(I admit that Explorer users may expect T.C. to return to the virtual folder \\desktop instead.)

If you do not use the <up>-key, but the <back>-key when leaving the archive, T.C. will return to where it originally came from, i.e. the virtual desktop folder \\Desktop.

Kind regards,
Karl

Indeed this is by design, sorry.
