Getting to my cell phone
Posted: 01.06.2017, 02:59
I finally upgraded to XE (740) and spent hours on settings... Now it's almost just like I want it, except for one thing. I've been using gasp file explorer to get to my cell phone (MTP). I see that I can get to it with freecommander XE, but...
I prefer single drive letter in tree view. I have a lot of drives and a lot of directories and a lot of files... But with base folder set to drive, I can't see how to get to MTP devices. I found a comment that I can click on "desktop" on the drive bar but that doesn't work for me. I click on the 0 and all looks great for a few seconds and I see my phone under This PC and I get to it -- BUT then it all flies away and I'm sitting in my Desktop directory in Users\Judy on the C drive... I've determined if I turn off auto refresh I can continue to look at "desktop" which shows This PC. So maybe that is my only solution... turning off auto refresh.
The more I look at this the more I think it might be a bug rather than a feature...
If I want to do it not through the "desktop" drive but try to switch to "computer", the only place to set this seems to be to dive into Settings => Tree => Management. Surely I'm missing something? I even tried changing settings and saving a layout, but that isn't save in layouts apparently. I apparently can't set a shortcut key to this setting either.
