Box Sync folder invisible - why?

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

Box Sync folder invisible - why?

Post by *Prana »

Hello

I can't see Box Sync folder inside Total Commander but inside windows explorer it's there. There is a pic:

1) "Configuration -> Options... Display"
Set: [x] Show System Files

2) Place the cursor on the "Box Sync " -Folder.
"Files -> Change Attributes..."
[_] recursive subdirectories
Set: [x] r Read only
Remove: [_] s System

3) if you want, you can disable "Show System Files" again after this -> 1)

Explanation: Customizing Folder Icons can be done in two different ways (common step is adding a desktop.ini).
One is to set the system attribute of the folder, the alternative way (also done by Explorer Property page) uses the read only attribute.

In opposite to Explorer, TC always hides files and folder with system attributes, while Explorer does not hide folders with system attribute if the folder contains a desktop.ini files for folder customization.
