Feature Requests and Suggestions / Re: Add Phone Link folders to MC

Then maybe that phone is not connecting to windows using Windows Portable Device interface.

Some older phone was connected like remote device and got assigned a device letter by the Windows like  E: or something else..

Not sure what way your phone is connecting as. Maybe some other way that MC does not support

Feature Requests and Suggestions / Re: Add Phone Link folders to MC

« Last post by JPCoetzee on Yesterday at 12:06:32 »

No, it doesn't show in the Portable folder. In the foreground of the screenshot below you can see my Xiaomi 15 Ultra in Windows Explorer, but in the background MC with an empty Portable folder.

Windows Phone Link is connected to my phone over Wifi.

Many thanks for your work.

**EDIT**
If I use Windows Explorer to create a shortcut to my phone on my desktop, I CAN access it via that shortcut in MC. The address bar shows a "CrossDevice" link: C:\Users\jpcoetzee\CrossDevice\JP's phone\storage\
The phone does not appear as a dedicated PhoneLink folder in the left pane as it does in Windows Explorer.

**EDIT 2**
Although I can see folders and files using the above method, I cannot access them i.e. cannot download them.

It only works for the file list, not for the folder tree

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?

Support and Feedback / after sending file with ftp the panel goes to the server root

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.

Look under portable. Devices that connect to WPD (Windows Portable device) can be found there
