Shortcuts to Network Folders
« on: March 02, 2015, 03:18:29 »
How do I get shortcuts to network folders to show in multicommander as they do in windows explorer (see attached image). They don't show in multicommander.

THanks

In the device dropdown list you got "Network" , you find network devices there.
You might need to scan the network there for it to finds them. When found you can pin them

Yes it should. But Scan does not reveal the machine (its a linux one)

However in Explorer and others (XYplorer, 2xExplorer it shows as attached)  though both are under "This PC" which I also can't find on Multicommander. Would greatly appreciate help as I prefer your software to all the others but this critical for  my use.

Thanks

Try some of the network browse method settings in settings under network

MC is not build around the Explorer Shell like XY, 2x.  "This PC" is not something that really exits. It is a virtual concept in the Explorer Shell.

MC belongs to the groups of Filemanagers that shows how the filesystem really looks like. Not that what the virtual look of it is from Explorer.

Thanks,

Achieved it by mapping the network drives first in windows.
