TC does not search some folders

Post by *Tommyboy »

TC does not search (alt+F7) folders which have a strange icon... see a screenshot pls
I have no idea how and why these appeared/changed.
There are several folders like this.
When I create new folder by hand and move the files... than it is ok but - too many to change all by hand.
So can anyone help me to get rid of this...
Thanks
Tom

Note "LNK" instead of "DIR" on "size" column - this is Reparse Point, Junction, not real directory, it refers to physical directory somewhere on disk. If you want know where physical directory is, type on command line such a command (and press Shift+Enter):

Code: Select all

fsutil reparsePoint query linkname
so

Code: Select all

fsutil reparsePoint query Statistika
in this case
OR

Code: Select all

DIR /AL
command

Hi 2Tommyboy

Your screenshot shows a link file to a folder which is in real located on another place.




For your issue see TCs help >
4. Configuration and switches
b. INI-File settings: wincmd.ini (1: Configuration, 2: the rest)


Search there for "IgnoreLinks"
Help wrote: IgnoreLinks=0
Allows you to ignore hard links (junctions, reparse points) to directories in various functions.
Note: The function "Synchronize dirs" uses a separate option "SyncIgnoreJunctions".

Sum of:
1: copy/move/calculate occupied space
2: internal packers (zip, tar)
4: branch view
8: find files (except when using Everything), re-scan tree
16: ignore links even when they are selected in the current directory. Otherwise only links in selected subdirectories are ignored.


and next check your wincmd.ini for that entry "IgnoreLinks=" if you had set it too 8 or greater.
(See menu Configuration > "Change Settings Files Directly")
