Drive button improvement suggestion
The 'Drive not found' condition of a drive should be constantly visible on its button. This would be very useful for drives with removable media.

TC would have to re-read the drive constantly (every few seconds), which would make it unusable...

Hello !
• For a long while, one can use a small alternative DLL for the drive-buttons,
you have just to state it in the <wincmd.ini> i.e. as following :
- Please, use the Search to find some others linked in threads (probably in the Plugins… section)
Kind regards,

Ctrl+R (cm_RereadSource) already does re-read all drives as I understand the description of "Reread source" in the Total Commander online help.
Furthermore I suggest to introduce an ini-file option to decide whether drives without media (that is, drives with 'Drive not found' condition) should be hidden or just be marked with a special icon.
