directory hotlist for Android devices does not work correctly

Post by *Pontiac_CZ »

I noticed that items in directory hotlist for my Android phone don't take me to the desired location.

For instance:
I created a bookmark for

Code: Select all

\\:Power Armor 18T\Internal shared storage\DCIM\OpenCamera\
but next time I connect my phone it only opens

Code: Select all

\\:Power Armor 18T\Internal shared storage\DCIM\



The same with

Code: Select all

\\:Power Armor 18T\Internal shared storage\Android\data\net.osmtracker\files\export\
- this takes me to

Code: Select all

\\:Power Armor 18T\Internal shared storage\Android\data\net.osmtracker\files\
(again, one level higher)



Just wanted to report this issue.
Thank you for this great software! :)

Currently the directory hotlist stores virtual folders in the following form:
cd ::{20D04FE0-3AEA-1069-A2D8-08002B30309D}\\\?\usb#vid_04e8&pid_6860&ms_comp_mtp&samsung_android#6&185b7a1&0&0000#{6ac27878-a6fa-4155-ba85-f98f491d4f33}\SID-{10001,,240574791680}\{EC164055-FFFF-FFFF-0000-000000000000}
The problem is that after disconnecting and reconnecting an Android phone, the path UIDs change. Here it becomes
cd ::{20D04FE0-3AEA-1069-A2D8-08002B30309D}\\\?\usb#vid_04e8&pid_6860&ms_comp_mtp&samsung_android#6&185b7a1&0&0000#{6ac27878-a6fa-4155-ba85-f98f491d4f33}\SID-{10001,,240574791680}\{EC16573E-FFFF-FFFF-0000-000000000000}

The history uses the newer format \\:Power Armor 18T\Internal shared storage\DCIM\ which seems to work fine here, but only in the history, it's not supported in the hotlist yet. Can you check whether you can return to the correct folder via history?
