Bug: USB flash drive disappears
« on: May 26, 2014, 21:12:43 »
The problem is USB flash drive disappears after being formatted the flash drive. But it will be visible again after I quit Multi Commander and start the MC  file manager.
I have six photos attached to the zip file.

When Windows format a device it will unmount that device.. When that happens MC will receive a message about that and MC will remove it.
When the format is done it is mounted again. and Windows sends a message about that.  Or it should.  Look like on some system MC do not get the "Device mounted" message again. why I don't know.  I have not had time to check why that happens on some systems.

You can type ":rdrive" in the command line field to force a refresh of all drives.
