Hi Keymaster

Thanks you for this quick response and fix!

Yes, I can imagine how challenging it is to juggle ones time between family work and FileVoyager!

Re Linux: Yes, if it works with Wine, it should also function on Linux. I am currently evaluating on how M$ Office behaves under Wine/PlayOnLinux….

Let me know if I can help testing (I have a Linux Mint Cinnamon workstation here..) when the time should come.

Kind regards from Switzerland

Thanks for confirming that and for deploying a release to fix it.

Much appreciated!

I like FV very much – any chance to deploy it for Linux as well 😉

Hi Keymaster

Sorry for my late answer (I forgot to check the notify box…).

Thanks for your reply and the hints re error messages which totally make sense.

Have a good time and merry Christmas!

Hi Kemaster

You did send me a link to the wordpress site of yours.

I can not log in to it, given the preset login credentials, which are the same as on this forum..

It says: “Sorry, you are not allowed to access this page.” ….

Have a nice evening!

Hi Keymaster

Thanks you very much for this update – everything is working like a charm!

Glad to be of help! Please let me know if/when I should test something.

Have a nice evening and kind regards from Switzerland!

P.S: I will modify the German translation a bit – it’s not bad at all, but some expressions used therein are a bit long-winded IMHO.

Let me download this dktranet utility and make a few suggestions to further improve the german language file. I will then, if you allow, send the file over to you.

Hi Keymaster

Sheesh – why didn’t I think of this solution 🤔🤔🤔

Works like a charm, thank you! 👍

P.S: When launching FileVoyager from the Windows Start Menu there is another link to FileVoyger in:

C:\ProgramData\Microsoft\Windows\Start Menu\Programs\FileVoyager which has to be adapted in the same way you described as well, if one starts the app from there…

Hi Keymaster

Terrific news – thanks for that!

Have a nice weekend!

Hi Keymaster

Awesome! This really works – many thanks for this workaround – much appreciated!

The only ‘small’ caveat is that it launches FileVoyager anew, each time when pressing <WIN>-E, even though it is already running (minimized into the system tray). Well,  I can live with that, no sweat.

I wonder, if there’s a script for detecting if a given app is already running and showing that instead of launching it anew.

I’ll let you know if/when I find a solution on the AHK-website.

Thanks again and kind regards from Switzerland (home of the Swiss Army Knife ☺)

Hi Keymaster

Again, many thanks for your feedback!

Well, it didn’t help, sorry.

Although it seems that you seem to be, generally speaking, on the right track. But there’s perhaps yet another key storing this info re. default file manager…

I was able to solve the aspect re DOpus: There were two different settings in it, both controlling the <Win>- E key issue. After setting both preferences, it’s the deplorable windoze file manager which consistently shows up…

Anyway, thanks for your inputs on this and please keep up the excellent work you do with FileVoyager!

Hi Keymaster

Thanks for your feedback! From  a mere puristic point of view you are of course right!

And, yes, I am aware of the Drive Panel (very handy).

But: when the focus is on one of these virtual folders (above the C:\ drive) and I go and select the drive C:\ the focus jumps to the same virtual folder but now underneath said drive C:\ in Users…. So the Drive Panel’s context seems to be ‘Users’ .

Only when the focus is on a branch below the drives roots, does the focus jump to C:\ or D:\ …

 

But it’s a mere cosmetic problem, I can live with that perfectly well 😉.

 

Thanks for the great work!

It somehow doesn’t take the jpg I wanted to include…

I am talking about those folders:

Pictures

Desktop

Documents

Downloads

Music

Videos

All shown under ‘This PC’ …

Thanks Keymaster for the solution and Gerhard for the tips – and the question 😉.

That’s exactly what I was looking for!

Hi Keymaster

Many thanks for your thorough answer plus the Registry-Key provided – much appreciated!

I created this file and ran it against the registry, which, based on a message, seemed to be successful.

Trying it out, the following happened:

When entering [Win]+[E], the still installed Directory Opus (DOpus) launched. What is remarkable is, that even though I had configured DOpus’s Settings to replace the standard Windows File Manager, it never worked – only after your registry script. Isn’t that funny 😀?

I then removed said setting in DOpus and when entering [Win]+[E] again, it was Windozes lousy standard file manager that opened. I guess, that the same will happen, when I go and un-install DOpus…

I also stopped DOpus completely but that didn’t help it either. With said setting it launched DOpus and without it M$’s file manager was launched …

I then checked the registry to see if the above registry script did show up correct by searching for said class ID {52205fd8-5dfb-447d-801a-d0b52f2e83e1} .

Well, it did show up in several instances under the ‘\CLSID\’ hive. but most entries were set to ‘Standard’ and a few referred under ‘DelegateExecute’ to the class ID, mentioned above.

I also tried to place the last line of the script (@=”C:\\Progam Files (x86)\\FileVoyager\\FileVoyager.exe” ) on a separate line (as in the linked example from superuser.com, bur that didn’t help either..

So, what did I miss 🤔 Thanks for your further thoughts on this matter!

And please let me know if I can help with some more troubleshooting on this!

Kind regards from Switzerland!

Charles
