Can't see mapped network drives Windows 10 (current), Geany 1.37.1 and newer.

[BKeyport]

"Upgraded" from Geany 1.33, now Geany isn't able to access or use mapped network drives in the slightest..

The drives don't appear in Geany's open guide, even though everything else can access it.

If you can give me some troubleshooting things to do, I can get you data to help solve it.

Thanks!

Are you using native windows dialogs? Whichever try the opposite and see if the drives appear.

[BKeyport]

Using Native Windows Dialogs I get the drives showing like this:

At least that way I can access the files again, so, that's progress. I'd still consider this a bug, as it's accessing the drives "wrong" in one mode.

Ok, so you have a workaround for now.

To help diagnose, what does the non-native dialog look like?

[BKeyport]

Oddly, when I switched back to non-native, it now shows mapped drives "correctly" ... So I'd consider it fixed..

The highlighted portion wasn't there when I initially upgraded.

[BKeyport]

I just switched to a newer computer, and downloaded the lastest software. Still doesn't show network drives upon initial load.

Switching to native, closing the software and restarting, then switching back to your dialogs will fix it, however.

Something's odd in the initial config?

@BKeyport please always post the top few lines of help->debug messages listing Geany version, Glib and GTK and OS.

When you say "initial load" do you mean the first time the new version of Geany is opened ever, and it works from then on? Or the first time after the machine is rebooted? Or every time Geany is started?

[BKeyport]

Inital load meaning - first load after install, until I do the steps listed in my post you responded to, it works fine after that.

Did you open a file manager or anything else where the network drives are shown before trying Geany? The GTK open dialog is from Linux where all network drives are mounted by the OS, so the dialog won't check for unmounted drives. Maybe windows needs the file manager or open dialog to query them before it mounts them, dunno, not a Windows user.

[BKeyport]

Yes. In Windows, the "Mapped" drives are mounted upon start of the OS. There's no reason for it not to be there.

Somebody who can build on Windows could try replacing the GTKfilechooser with Nativefilechooser so it automatically uses the platform specific version. Not sure if Geany uses anything thats not available on the native dialog, or if it works, or is useful for OSX or flatpack also?
