Support and Feedback / Re: How can I hide link folders?

Hmmm...  My "Show link target in name column" is unchecked.  Portable version limitation perhaps?

Edit: I did not uncheck this option during the session so MC has been started with this option was unchecked.

Thanks for the response Mathias.  I am surprised by it though, perhaps because I am naive about how C:\User\Brian\Music, C:\User\Brian\Pictures, and C:\User\Brian\Videos can be considered as existing within the file structure of C:\User\Brian\Documents.  I will try to find where to turn off the translation which I hope will minimize their distraction.

Well they are things in the file system. That are item in the filesystem that are file system links that are pointing to other places.

In configuration you can turn off the translation so it does not show where it actually are redirecting to.
But you can turn off so they are not shown at all. because the idea of MC is to show you what the Filesystem really looks like without lying to you..

When I start MC, on of the folders it defaults to is my Documents folder.  That Folder tree lists folders that are not physically in \Documents like what you see in this screen snip. 



Is there a way to configure MC to only list in its Folder tree the directories that physically reside in the selected directory?

Hi Mathias,

For instance i send a file to domains\mydomain\public_html it copies the file allright, but when done it displays the root tree content, domains is one of it's maps.

Might be, Portable saves everything to a file.. so it recreates everything each time..  while the installed saves to registry and overwrite values.

That is strange.. works for me. If You have at least one save in the registry it should keep them. turning of Save option should just prevent them from being overwritten

Perhaps my issue is the result of using the portable version.  Ideally, a portable version should save all settings to the MultiCommander\Config directory, which I thought it was doing, but maybe not the 'save settings on exit' stuff.
