Bug with "Separate tree" refreshing

The behaviour described in the bug report is either by design, or would be far too complex/time-consuming to be changed

Bug with "Separate tree" refreshing

Post by *kajoj1 »

1) Open one tree separate panel.
2) Execute cm_OpenDrives for comparison
3) Open for example Virtual CloneDrive and set number of virtual drives for 2
4) In panel, with cm_OpenDrives executed, appears one disk but after 1-2 sec appears also second
5) In "Separate tree" is visible only one drive !

It happens also when you insert USB drive. It also doesn’t appear in separate tree

I cannot reproduce this problem here. Do you have a line
DeviceChange=0
in your wincmd.ini?

No, I haven't. But I've tested it with DeviceChange=1 and it seems that bug still exist.

But please check what happen when you have two tree separate panel and two panels with cm_OpenDrives executed. Then in one tree panel appears two new drives but in second only one. Weird.

I you want I can prepare video showing this error.

I can confirm that. See http://madsenworld.dk/tcmd/septree.png where I have just inserted USB-drive U: which is only seen in the left sep tree. If I have only 1 sep tree running, then it is not updated when inserting the USB drive either. The same thing happens when I have (ordinary) trees in the two file panels: http://madsenworld.dk/tcmd/septree2.png - no drive update of the sep. tree.

Another similar bug with refreshing...
I've created the file 'AUTORUN.INF' in the root of my usb drive and it contains:
[autorun]
icon = IconName.ico
After inserting drive I: to usb port it appears in panel, with cm_OpenDrives executed, but with standard icon, not this one I wrote in autorun.inf (of course drive didn't appear in treepanel).
But when I opened next instance of TC I saw drive with correct icon in panel but also in separate treepanel!

I have tried that - the drives appear in both tree views and in both "My Computer" lists here, both with and without autorefresh!

I have no idea what is wrong on your system, maybe some settings problem? Can anyone else reproduce this problem?

Look further up ( http://www.ghisler.ch/board/viewtopic.php?p=100213#100213 ) - I already have confirmed this bug - showing two screenshots of it :!:

Unfortunately I 'm still unable to reproduce it. :(

I did find out, though, that a CD drive can disappear when the CD is ejected. Maybe your system is generating several arrival/departure messages causing this problem. Let's see whether fixing the disappear problem has any effect on your problem too.

Try to do the following, assuming that you have an USB-stick that only get's its drive letter when inserted in the USB-slot:
1: Choose 2 separate trees.
2: In both left and right sep tree click the little minus sign to the left of "My Computer" to collapse the trees fully.
3: In both left and right sep tree click the little plus sign to the left of "My Computer" to expand the tree one level so you can see all drive letters.
4: Insert the USB-stick and observe how the drive letter of the stick becomes visible in the left separate tree (immediately), in both file panels (with a little delay) but it does NOT appear in the RIGHT separate tree.

Tested with:
WatchDirs=51

Sorry, I could never reproduce this error, although I tried many times. This problem will therefore have to remain unsolved. :(

It ONLY happens if \\My Computer\ is opened in at least one of the two file panels.

Yes, I tried it with that many times, even with "My Computer" in both panels - but the drives always appeared and disappeared as they should. :(
