Shortcut creation is impossible for folders that are shown using Quick Filter - when dragging selection [FIXED]

[Forez]

How to replicate this bug:

#1] Create wherever folders named

Code: Select all

XX
XY
YY

#2] Turn on Quick Filter feature for that Panel which shows these folders


#3] Write as filtering expression

Code: Select all

X

#4] Select 2 shown folders, i.e. the

Code: Select all

XX

and the

Code: Select all

XY

one


#5A] Click your selection with Right Mouse Button - and then hold it and drag the selection to Desktop

[or]

#5B] Click your selection with Right Mouse Button - and then hold it and drag the selection to wherever except Desktop

[or]

#5C] Click your selection with Right Mouse Button - and then release it and choose the Create Shortcut entry from the shell menu



What happens depends on the last step:

A] Nothing


B] You get an error box saying

Windows can't create a shortcut here.
Do you want the shortcut to be placed on the desktop instead?

C] All two shortcuts are created as they should


So this comparison shows that FreeCommander has a problem both with processing a request for shortcut creation when some of the folders are temporarily hidden but deals with it in two ways [with error and without]



This is happening to me in Build 912 64-bit Donor Portable and Build 901 32-bit Public Installed on Windows 10 Enterprise 20H2 x64 [10.0.19042]

I think, this has nothing to do with QuickFilter.
Using option "Use blocking transfer ..." works well.

I have not been using that

Tools > Settings > File/folder operations > Drag&Drop > Use blocking transfer - works with all programs and devices

option and still do not - and yet now the first two methods of creating shortcuts (i.e. A and B) do work for me after updating to Build 946 64-bit Donor Portable / Build 941 32-bit Public Installed and having installed from strach new system in form of Windows 10 IOT Enterprise LTSC 21H2 x64 (19044.6691)
