[Solved] Drive list changed?: Drive size instead of Drive name

Post by *jodo1955 »

Since a few days TotalCommander 9.2 shows the size of my drives behind the drive letter instead of the drive name:

C: 178.856,4 M / 243.581,9 M instead of C: WIN_X
D: 902.650,4 M / 953.851,9 M instead of D: CloudData

Probably I have clicked some button by accident, but I don't know what button that could have been.

Does anybody know how I get my drivenames back ???

Thanks,

Job ten Doeschate

I have found the solution:

the problem was caused by tweaking Windows 10: put the drive letter before the labels instaed of after the drive labels. Reversing that tweak solved my problem.

Ha. Nice catch. IMO TC should take this setting into consideration in this case, so that the drive letter and label will always be shown, as was the intention from the start. Perhaps it should be filled as a bug...

Normally using latest TC on:
x32: WinXPx32 SP3
x64: Clients/Servers from Win7 to Win11 and Win2K12Srv to Win2K22Srv, mainly Win10 though.

Or maybe it should use more stable way to get labels... What an API that may return such a stupid string instead of a drive label...
