In FreeCommander 2009.02b, the network drive icon caused the tree display to start with "Network" as shown here:



In FCXE the network drive icon displays the same tree as the "Desktop" icon, except "Network" is highlighted as shown here:



What is the point of having 2 drive icons (0 and 1) to just position the cursor?

I would expect the network drive icon to behave like other drives when the Base folder is set to Drive.

I would expect the network base folder to show "Network" and display the set of discovered hosts, like it was in FC 2009.02b

FCXE Option: Show Network as a Drive - enabled

FCXE Option: View/Tree/Management, Base folder is set to Drive


Windows 7 64-bit SP1 FreeCommanderXE 639

FC 2009 can only show the tree below a "drive" so the selected "drive" is the highest entry in the tree.
FCXE can show the whole tree and goes to the selected "drive" in the the drive bar.

I know that FCXE "can" show the whole tree, however, when the base folder for the tree display is set to "drive" the display for Network should behave the same way that other drives are displayed. That is the drive (or Network) is at the top of the list and any subfolders (or attached hosts) appear under the top item.

FC 2009 got this right. I think it should be the same in FCXE when the base folder is set to "drive".

Marek, Thank you.

FCXE 640 makes the Network display consistent for all drives displayed.
