cm_OpenDrives issues

[roentgen]

I don't know if this is a known issue but it seems that using TC to browse My Computer (cm_OpenDrives) > User Documents > Some dir that contains (even empty) desktop.ini leads to TC showing something like \\Test in the path bar instead showing the real path.

Also, in such cases the hidden/system files are not visible (e.g. desktop.ini)

<rant>As it seems that certain features can't be done right no matter how much people complain about it maybe we are better without them instead having them more like a demo</rant>

When browsing "My Computer" and other virtual folders, TC asks Windows for the display name of the current path, and shows it in the title. The real "name" is a binary ItemIDList, and cannot be displayed.

Also, in such cases the hidden/system files are not visible (e.g. desktop.ini)

Enumerating virtual folders is controlled by the settings in the Explorer, so you have to enable hidden files there (and also file extensions).

Do you use IShellolder::EnumObjects?
If yes what flags do you set in EnumFolders (2nd parameter)?

I did. No luck.

I set just the flags SHCONTF_FOLDERS and SHCONTF_NONFOLDERS

Well maybe SHCONTF_INCLUDEHIDDEN could here here

Maybe it will work, but you never know with these OLE APIs - some OLE objects may not recognize the flag, and just return nothing. I don't want to risk that now without a longer public beta test.
